Trigger
Direct Message Received

Action
Append Reverse Phone Lookup
Tool to perform reverse phone lookup and retrieve name and address information. Use when you need to find the contact details associated with a phone number. Returns personal identifiers, address components, and demographic data.
Why this helps

- Retrieve associated name and address information for a number.
- Reduce manual search before choosing a response.
- Keep lookup results in the channel used for automation reports.

- 1Connect Slack and Data247 once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and tell Notis in plain language to reverse-look up phone numbers shared in DMs and report results.
- 3Choose Direct Message Received as the trigger.
- 4Pick a run-report channel and test with a real DM containing a phone number.
