Compare travel times for Slack location options
See how proposed places compare by travel time and distance from the relevant starting points.
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
Route Matrix
Tool to compute travel time and distance matrices. Use when you need durations and distances between multiple origin and destination pairs.
Why this helps
Comparing several locations manually makes a simple planning choice harder to finish.
- Compare multiple origins and destinations in one result.
- Bring objective travel estimates into the conversation.
- Avoid checking each proposed trip separately.
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 in plain language for travel comparisons from Slack.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the proposed locations and use Geoapify Route Matrix to return distances and travel times for comparison.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received and choose a channel for Notis run reports.
- 5Test with a message that names at least two candidate destinations and a clear origin.
Questions about this workflow
Does the matrix choose the best location?
No. It supplies distance and travel-time comparisons so the team can decide.
Can it compare multiple candidate destinations?
Yes, when the Slack discussion provides enough origin and destination information for the request.
