Description

Geo Territories n8n Node


Stop managing complex tables of ZIP codes and postal codes. Start drawing visual territories.

This custom n8n node integrates seamlessly with Geo Territories to bring powerful, visual geofencing capabilities into your automated workflows. With this node, you can instantly validate address coordinate points against your custom-drawn geographic polygons (fences) to route leads, dispatch teams, filter serviceability, and much more.

🌟 Key Features

• Visual Geofencing: Check whether any geographical point (latitude and longitude) lies within your custom-drawn boundaries.
• Flexible Matching Modes: Validate points against:

* One Fence: A single selected territory/fence from a dynamic list.
* Multiple Fences: Multiple selected territories/fences.
* All Fences: All active territories defined in your account.

• Dynamic Dropdowns: Dynamically queries the Geo Territories API (GET /fences) to load your custom boundaries directly in n8n.
• OAuth2 Authentication: Secure connection via standard OAuth2 with PKCE flow.

🚀 Real-world Use Cases

Integrating Geo Territories into n8n opens up thousands of operational possibilities:

• Dynamic Lead Routing: Automatically detect which sales representative’s visual territory a new lead belongs to and instantly assign it in HubSpot, Salesforce, or Zoho.
• Serviceability Filtering: Run a prospect’s address coordinates through the node. If they are outside your service boundary, automatically trigger a polite “Not in service area” email, saving time for your sales team.
• Competitor Proximity Alerts: Draw polygons around competitor locations and trigger Slack notifications or specialized conquest marketing campaigns if a lead registers within those boundaries.
• Delivery Zone Surcharges: Check if a Shopify order’s shipping address is located inside a congestion or premium delivery zone to automatically append the correct surcharge.
• Workforce Dispatching: Automatically route maintenance, utility, or delivery tickets to the foreman or crew specifically responsible for that territory.
• Fleet “No-Go” Zone Alerts: Track fleet GPS coordinates in real-time and alert operations if a vehicle moves outside its authorized operational boundaries.
