Action

Places Search

Tool to search for points of interest within a specified area. Use when you need POIs matching categories after defining spatial filter or bias.

Why this helps

Looking up nearby options can scatter a simple decision across maps, chat, and notes.

  • Keep local research attached to the request.
  • Search for a useful category of nearby places.
  • Reduce back-and-forth between messaging and maps.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Telegram and Geoapify to Notis once in the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to search nearby places from Telegram requests.
  • 3Write one instruction describing how to interpret a place or category request and return Geoapify Places Search results.
  • 4Choose New Message Received and select where Notis should report runs.
  • 5Test with a real request for a nearby category and location.

Questions about this workflow
