Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
Action
Forward Geocoding
Tool to perform forward geocoding lookup by address or place name. Use when you need to convert a query string into geographic coordinates and structured address information.
Why this helps
Location context added during channel setup may be separated from the planning work that follows.
- Resolve a stated place as a channel is created.
- Give location-based planning a useful starting point.
- Reduce later searches for the site's address or coordinates.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Geokeo to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one plain-language prompt describing how to resolve any address or place stated in a new channel's available context.
- 3Select the New Channel Created trigger.
- 4Choose where Notis should report runs and test with a channel created for a real location-based activity.
Questions about this workflow
Will this find a location if none is stated?
No. The prompt should ask Notis to look up a location only when the available channel context contains one.
Which Geokeo action is used?
Forward Geocoding looks up a location query and returns coordinates and structured address information.
