Get coordinates from addresses shared in Slack
Make a useful location easy to find again. Share an address in Slack and let Geocodio return its coordinates and match details.
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
Single Forward Geocode
Tool to forward geocode a single address. Use when you need coordinates and metadata for one address.
Why this helps
Copying an address out of a conversation, opening a separate tool, and bringing the result back adds needless context switching.
- Get coordinates without leaving the conversation flow.
- Keep the address and geocoding result close together.
- Reduce manual copy and paste between tools.
Setup

- 1Connect Slack and Geocodio to Notis once in the portal.

- 3In one instruction, say to geocode an address posted in Slack and return the coordinates and match details.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real address shared in a channel.
