Notis

Assess local coverage from Slack planning

Turn a proposed service limit into an area the team can inspect before committing.

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

Generate isoline (isochrone/isodistance)

Tool to generate isochrone or isodistance isolines. Use when visualizing reachable areas from a point; use `id` to poll ongoing calculations.

Why this helps

Service-area discussions often rely on rough intuition, leaving coverage questions unresolved.

  • Translate a proposed travel limit into a reachable boundary.
  • Give the team a concrete area for discussion.
  • Keep geographic planning tied to the decision thread.

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 assess service coverage from Slack plans.
  • 3Use a single plain-language instruction to extract a service origin and time or distance limit, generate a Geoapify isoline, and return the result for discussion.
  • 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received and select a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with a proposed service location and one clear limit.

Questions about this workflow

Does an isoline confirm actual customer coverage?

It shows an area reachable according to the requested travel-time or distance calculation; the team should use it as planning input.

Can this compare service areas?

It can generate an area for a defined origin and limit. Comparing candidates may require separate isoline requests.
