Know the timezone behind an address in Slack
When a location arrives in a DM, get the timezone alongside its geocoded result and keep scheduling context close at hand.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Append Timezone
Tool to append timezone information to geocode results. Use when you need local timezone details for a given address.
Why this helps
An address sent privately can leave you guessing which local hours apply, especially when planning across regions.
- Surface timezone information alongside the address result.
- Avoid a separate lookup before proposing meeting times.
- Keep location context with the DM that prompted the check.

- 2Create a portal automation or ask Notis in plain language to set one up.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to geocode an address in a DM and append timezone details.

- 5Test with one real address received in a DM.
