Combine or intersect stored areas from Slack
Run a defined geometry operation when a planning message calls for it.
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
Geometry Operation
Tool to perform geometric operations on stored polygon geometries. Use when combining or intersecting multiple stored geometries.
Why this helps
Geographic overlap questions can linger when the relevant polygons and operation are not brought together.
- Run a requested combine or intersection on stored polygon geometries.
- Keep the analysis result attached to its planning context.
- Reduce the handoff from discussion to geographic calculation.
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 run geometry operations from Slack requests.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis how to recognize an explicit operation request, identify the relevant stored polygon geometries, call Geoapify Geometry Operation, and report the output.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a request that names the operation and references available stored geometries.
Questions about this workflow
Can this create polygon geometries from plain text?
No. The action operates on stored polygon geometries, so the request needs to identify available geometry inputs.
Which tasks fit this workflow?
Explicit requests to combine or intersect stored areas are a fit for the Geometry Operation action.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Geoapify. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Slack triggers
Geoapify actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Address Autocomplete
Tool to fetch address suggestions based on partial input. Use when you need to get predictive suggestions from incomplete address text.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Batch Requests
Tool to create or retrieve batch jobs. Use when processing multiple API calls asynchronously in one operation.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Get Administrative Boundaries
Tool to retrieve administrative boundaries a location is part of. Use when you have either a place ID or coordinates and need GeoJSON boundaries. Returns a FeatureCollection.
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Forward Geocoding
Tool to convert an address into geographic coordinates. Use when you need latitude and longitude from an address.
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Geometry Operation
Tool to perform geometric operations on stored polygon geometries. Use when combining or intersecting multiple stored geometries.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
IP Geolocation
Tool to determine geographic location of an IP address. Use when you need to lookup location information by IP.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
Map Matching
Tool to snap GPS traces to the road network and correct inaccuracies. Use when raw GPS points need alignment to roads.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Slack and Geoapify, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
