Check suspicious IPs from Slack incident messages
When someone flags an IP in an incident channel, get its Abuselpdb reputation checked without breaking your focus to look it up manually.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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
Switching from an incident thread to a reputation lookup interrupts triage and makes it easier to lose track of the original report.
- Quickly checks an address mentioned in an incident channel.
- Keeps the investigation anchored to the Slack conversation.
- Reduces manual copy and paste during triage.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Abuselpdb to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create one conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: when a Slack incident message includes an IP address, check its reputation in Abuselpdb and summarize the result.
- 4Select Slack Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
- 5Test with a real incident message containing an IP address.
