Identify map pins shared in Slack DMs
Turn the coordinates someone sent you into a recognizable place, without breaking away from the conversation.
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
Reverse Geocoding Lookup
Tool to perform reverse geocoding. Use when you have latitude and longitude and need an address.
Why this helps
A map pin sent as coordinates can be difficult to identify when the next task is already demanding attention.
- Make a shared pin understandable at a glance.
- Reduce the need to copy coordinates into another tool.
- Keep useful meeting-point context with the DM.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Geokeo to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one prompt explaining how to reverse geocode coordinates included in Slack DMs.
- 3Select Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should go and test with a real DM containing latitude and longitude.
Questions about this workflow
Can this reverse geocode a link to a map?
The Geokeo action needs latitude and longitude. Use this workflow when those coordinates are present in the DM.
Does it create a map pin?
No. It looks up the address and location information for the provided coordinates.
