Turn Slack coordinates into an address

Make latitude and longitude readable for the next person handling the task.

Trigger

Channel Message Received

Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.

Action

Reverse Geocoding

Tool to reverse geocode coordinates into a structured address. Use when converting lat/lon to human-readable addresses.

Why this helps

Coordinate pairs are precise but hard to recognize or reuse during a quick handoff.

  • Convert a coordinate pair into a human-readable address.
  • Make location handoffs easier to scan.
  • Keep the address beside the source coordinates.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Geoapify to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis conversationally to reverse geocode coordinates in Slack.
  • 3Write one plain-language instruction to detect a valid latitude and longitude, request Geoapify Reverse Geocoding, and return the structured address with message context.
  • 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received and a channel for run reports.
  • 5Test with a real coordinate pair shared in a channel.

Questions about this workflow

What input does Reverse Geocoding need?

It needs coordinates that can be interpreted as latitude and longitude.

Does this find coordinates from an address?

No. To convert an address to coordinates, use Forward Geocoding.
