Add abuse history to a private escalation
When a DM asks for deeper IP context, bring prior reports into view without leaving the request waiting in your inbox.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Get Abuse Reports
Tool to retrieve a list of abuse reports for a specific ip address. use when you need to fetch historic reports with optional filtering by status, date range, reporter, and pagination.
Why this helps
Private escalations are easy to miss when each one requires a separate research task and manual follow-through.
- Responds to a private request for prior-report context.
- Reduces the manual follow-up burden on the recipient.
- Keeps findings tied to the escalation's address.
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 conversationally.
- 3Give Notis one instruction to retrieve and summarize prior abuse reports for IPs in DMs that request an investigation escalation.
- 4Select Direct Message Received as the trigger and pick a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a real DM escalation that includes an IP.
