Check IP addresses shared in new issue comments
Bring reputation checks into the conversation as new issue details arrive.
Trigger
New GitHub Issue Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.
Action
Check IP Reputation
Tool to check the reputation of an ip address. use when you need to determine if an ip address has been reported for abusive activity within a specified look-back period. example: checkip(ipaddress='8.8.8.8', maxageindays=90).
Why this helps
Important infrastructure details can surface in comments after the original issue has been filed.
- Check IPs as new comments arrive.
- Keep findings close to the GitHub discussion context.
- Avoid revisiting comments to copy IPs into a separate tool.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Abuselpdb once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis Automations or tell Notis in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis in one instruction to identify IP addresses in each new comment and check them with Abuselpdb.
- 4Pick the New GitHub Issue Comment trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real comment containing an IP address.
Questions about this workflow
Will edits to old comments start another check?
The selected trigger is for genuinely new comments. Edits to existing comments do not produce this event.
What if a comment has no IP address?
There is no address to check, so no reputation lookup can be made for that comment.
