Compare two IPs from a Slack DM
Get a two-address comparison without copying details into a separate calculator.
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
IP2Location Distance Calculator
Tool to calculate distance between two IPs. Use when geographic separation between two IP addresses is needed.
Why this helps
A private question about two addresses can stall while someone manually looks up and compares them.
- Calculate distance for two IP addresses from a DM.
- Keep private comparison requests moving.
- Report the result through a channel selected for automation runs.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ip2location to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation with a plain-language instruction to calculate distance when a DM asks to compare two IP addresses.
- 3Choose Direct Message Received and select a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with an appropriate DM containing two IP addresses.
Questions about this workflow
Can this compare more than two IPs?
The listed distance calculator action compares two IPs. Use another workflow for separate bulk geolocation of multiple addresses.
Does the calculation reveal a person's exact location?
No. It provides a distance between IP-based locations, which may be approximate and should not be treated as an exact physical-location record.
