Compare travel times for planned visits
Make scheduling less guessy by comparing the travel times between locations already listed in Slack.
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
Compute Routing Matrix
Tool to compute a routing distance/time matrix. Use when you need batch distances and travel times between multiple origins and destinations.
Why this helps
Planning a day across several locations requires repeated route checks and mental arithmetic.
- Compare travel times across multiple planned locations in one run.
- Use the same Slack plan as the source of the location list.
- Reduce manual route-by-route checking.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Here to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to calculate a Here travel-time matrix when a channel message asks to compare planned visit locations, then summarize it in the run channel.
- 4Choose Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and set the run-report channel.
- 5Test with a message listing several real or sample visit addresses.
Questions about this workflow
Can this compare several locations at once?
Yes. The Here routing matrix action is intended for multiple origins and destinations.
Should the message include addresses?
