Retrieve location information for an IP in Slack
Keep a location lookup close to the direct conversation where the IP was shared.
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
IP Geolocation
Tool to determine geographic location of an IP address. Use when you need to lookup location information by IP.
Why this helps
A support or security handoff can stall when someone needs to look up an IP in another service and relay the result.
- Keep the lookup with the direct support conversation.
- Return location information for a supplied IP address.
- Reduce a manual research step during a handoff.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Geoapify to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally to look up explicitly shared IP addresses in Slack DMs.
- 3Give Notis one plain-language instruction to identify a complete IP address in a relevant DM, use Geoapify IP Geolocation, and report the returned location information discreetly in the expected context.
- 4Choose Slack Direct Message Received as the trigger and select a run-report channel.
- 5Test with a safe example IP address appropriate for testing.
Questions about this workflow
Does this work for direct messages?
Yes. It uses Slack Direct Message Received, which catches DMs across DM channels.
Does an IP lookup give an exact street address?
IP geolocation provides location information associated with the IP and should not be treated as an exact address.
