Action
Country by IP Address API
Tool to geolocate an ip address and retrieve country details and demographics. use when you need country-level data after obtaining the target ip address.
Why this helps
A comment with an IP address can leave you searching elsewhere to understand where it may originate.
- Check country-level information for an IP address mentioned in a comment.
- Keep the lookup tied to the file comment that prompted it.
- Reduce manual switching between Box and lookup tools.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Box and Big data cloud once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to inspect each new file comment for an IP address, call Country by IP Address, and summarize the country details in the run report.
- 4Pick the Box New File Comment Added trigger for the file to monitor.
- 5Choose a report channel and test with one real comment containing an IP address.
Questions about this workflow
Does this identify an exact street address?
No. Country by IP Address returns country-level details, not a precise street address.
What happens if a comment has no IP address?
There is no IP lookup to run; the prompt can ask Notis to report that no address was found.
