Automate your bulk geocoding with Swiftask and OpenCage

Swiftask connects your databases to the OpenCage API to automatically transform your addresses into precise GPS coordinates, at scale.

Result:

Eliminate manual errors and accelerate your geographic data processing.

Manual geocoding is slow and error-prone

Processing thousands of addresses manually or through complex scripts is a major challenge. Data is often poorly formatted, incomplete, or outdated, making mapping and spatial analysis inefficient.

Main negative impacts:

  • Inefficient manual processes: Processing addresses in batches requires significant human time, slowing down your analytical projects.
  • Unstructured data: Without specialized tools, harmonizing heterogeneous address formats is a daily headache.
  • High operational costs: Accumulating manual tasks increases costs and the risk of data entry errors.

Swiftask automates the workflow: your addresses are sent to OpenCage, enriched with precise coordinates, and automatically integrated back into your systems.

BEFORE / AFTER

What changes with Swiftask

Without Swiftask

An analyst manually exports address CSV files, uses a third-party tool, cleans the results, and imports coordinates into their CRM. A long, repetitive, and error-prone process.

With Swiftask + OpenCage

As soon as a new file is uploaded or a row is created in your database, the Swiftask agent queries OpenCage and updates the coordinates in real time.

4 steps to automate your geocoding

STEP 1 : Configure your Swiftask agent

Create a dedicated data enrichment agent and define the trigger rules.

STEP 2 : Integrate OpenCage API

Connect your OpenCage credentials to Swiftask to leverage their global database.

STEP 3 : Define data mapping

Instruct the agent on which address fields to transform into Latitude/Longitude coordinates.

STEP 4 : Launch automation

The agent processes your data in bulk or on-the-fly, with full supervision.

Key features of the automation

The agent intelligently handles partial addresses, typos, and international formats thanks to OpenCage's power.

  • Target connector: The agent performs the right actions in opencage based on event context.
  • Automated actions: Bulk geocoding, reverse geocoding, address normalization, CRM/ERP data enrichment.
  • Native governance: Full request traceability in Swiftask to ensure your data quality.

Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.

Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-opencage@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.

Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
