About this Applet
Post civic district names for a US street address to Slack. When you press the Button widget the Applet asks Cicero to look up the districts for the address you configure and posts the matched district names to the Slack channel you choose. Great for organizers, volunteers, or campaigners who need quick district, congressional, and local context on the go via Button, Cicero, and Slack. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.

Create your own workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.

This trigger fires every time you press the button.

Query

This query returns the districts your US street address falls in, from its congressional district to its city council district.
