Notis

Automate location comparisons from an incoming request

Send one location set and receive a batch travel comparison.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Calculate Matrix

Tool to calculate distance, time, or weight matrices via POST. Use when you have multiple origins/destinations or a symmetric point set and need a single batch request.

Why this helps

Repeated manual travel comparisons slow down intake and make operational decisions harder to repeat consistently.

  • Handle repeated comparison requests consistently.
  • Calculate multiple location pairs in one batch.
  • Return travel data to the system that initiated the request.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GraphHopper to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it with an incoming webhook trigger.
  • 3Write one instruction to calculate a GraphHopper time or distance matrix for the locations in each incoming request and return a concise comparison.
  • 4Choose the channel for Notis run reports.
  • 5Test with one real webhook request containing multiple locations.

Questions about this workflow

What is a matrix request suited for?

It is suited to multiple origins and destinations or a symmetric set of points that needs a batch of times or distances.

Can it handle a single route?

A single origin and destination is better served by a route calculation.
