Trigger

Action
Postcode Search
Tool to retrieve postcode information for a location. Use when you need to fetch postcode details based on a given postcode or geographic coordinates.
Why this helps
Postcode checks are small tasks that are easy to postpone when they require leaving the conversation.
- Keep postcode checks attached to the task that needs them.
- Use coordinates or postcode details as the search input.
- Reduce repeated lookups during operational planning.
