Notis

Map where you can reach from a Slack location

Translate a travel limit into a geographic area the team can consider.

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

Deciding whether a place is within reach often means guessing or checking many destinations one by one.

  • Visualize the area reachable within a stated limit.
  • Use one boundary to guide local planning.
  • Reduce repeated destination-by-destination checks.

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 map reachable areas from Slack plans.
  • 3Use one plain-language instruction to extract the starting location and stated time or distance limit, request a Geoapify isoline, and report the result with its source context.
  • 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose where Notis should report runs.
  • 5Test with a message containing a real start location and a clear limit.

Questions about this workflow

What details does the Slack message need?

It should include a usable starting location and a clear travel-time or distance limit.

Does the workflow need to wait for the calculation?

Some isoline calculations may continue asynchronously; Geoapify supports polling with the returned calculation ID.
