Find places near a Slack meeting location
Turn a shared meeting address into a short list of nearby places to meet or take a break.
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
Places Search
Tool to search for points of interest within a specified area. Use when you need POIs matching categories after defining spatial filter or bias.
Why this helps
Choosing somewhere nearby often becomes a new search task just when the team is trying to settle the plan.
- Keep venue discovery with the conversation that established the location.
- Find places matching the categories named in the message.
- Return options for quick review without a separate search session.
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 find nearby places from Slack messages.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to use Geoapify Places Search for a valid meeting location and the place categories mentioned, then report relevant results in the same context.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a channel message containing a real location and a category such as cafes.
Questions about this workflow
Does this choose a venue automatically?
