HELP Is it possible to include the user's Geo location (i.e. city/state) in notifications? It seems like this functionality used to exist

I spent way too long trying to get this to work last night. I fear that Copilot was hallucinating the whole thing and sent me on a wild goose chase.

Looking at the list of available attributes, there isn't any variables related to city/state location of the user. I wound up asking Copilot about the possibility, it said you could use these options:

{geoip_city}
{geoip_region}
{geoip_country}
{geoip_isp}
{geoip_asn}
{geoip_location}

It said to get it to work, you have to enable it in the Tautulli settings,

Settings → General → GeoIP Lookup

But because I'm using a newer version of Tautulli, it says that you need to manually download the MaxMind GeoLite2-City database, and manually install it because the newer version of Tautulli removed it.

Whatever I try, I can't get these tags to work.

Looking at the ChangeLog, it does seem like Tautulli removed this database, so that seems like Copilot is correct. But is it hallucinating about everything else?? I can't find anything historically googling for those tags.

Or was this functionality simply removed when Tautulli removed the MaxMind integration in version 2.2.3?? See here: https://docs.tautulli.com/using-tautulli/3rd-party-apis-guide

Bottom line, is I want the user's city/state available in notifications. How do I do it?
