Action
NZ Address Reverse Geocode
Tool to reverse geocode NZ addresses from GPS coordinates. Use when you need to find the nearest addresses to a given longitude and latitude. Returns addresses ordered by distance.
Why this helps
Coordinates in a chat are hard to use when the next step needs a recognizable address.
- Use location coordinates included in an inbound message
- Find nearby NZ addresses ordered by distance
- Make shared map locations easier to interpret

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
AU Address Autocomplete
Tool to perform interactive search of Australian addresses from the AddressFinder database. Use when you need to search for and autocomplete Australian addresses based on partial input.

Get AU Address Metadata
Tool to retrieve full metadata for an Australian address selected from the Address Autocomplete API. Use when you need complete address details including GPS coordinates and census data.
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
