Identify the address behind coordinates in a Slack DM
When someone sends a map coordinate, turn it into a readable address right where the conversation is happening.
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
Single Reverse Geocode
Tool to reverse geocode a single coordinate. Use when you need to convert one lat,lng to an address.
Why this helps
Coordinates without an address can leave you opening maps and manually tracing a location.
- Convert one coordinate pair into an address.
- Avoid manually opening a separate map search.
- Keep the location detail with the DM that shared it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Geocodio once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis for one conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to reverse geocode a single latitude and longitude shared in a direct message.
- 4Select the Slack direct message trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real coordinate pair.
