Identify photo locations from coordinates
When a photo comes with coordinates, let Geokeo translate them into a place people can recognize in the thread.
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
Reverse Geocoding Lookup
Tool to perform reverse geocoding. Use when you have latitude and longitude and need an address.
Why this helps
A photo's location can be lost in technical coordinate data that people do not have time to look up.
- Connect a photo's coordinate pair to readable location details.
- Keep location context in the original discussion.
- Reduce manual reverse geocoding for shared images.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Geokeo to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation and write a single prompt explaining how to reverse geocode photo coordinates when they appear in message text.
- 3Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Choose where run reports should appear and test with a real message containing photo coordinates.
Questions about this workflow
Can Geokeo read coordinates embedded inside an image file?
The provided action takes latitude and longitude. The workflow applies when coordinates are available in the message context.
What if the photo has no coordinates?
Instruct Notis to skip the lookup when the message does not provide a coordinate pair.
