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
IP2Location Distance Calculator
Tool to calculate distance between two IPs. Use when geographic separation between two IP addresses is needed.
Why this helps
Comparing two addresses can mean separate lookups and extra manual steps before the team can assess the difference.
- Calculate distance between two IPs.
- Keep the comparison tied to the relevant Slack conversation.
- Skip a manual handoff to a separate calculator.
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 channel message asks to compare two IP addresses.
- 3Select Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test with a real message containing two addresses that are suitable for comparison.
Questions about this workflow
How many addresses does this comparison use?
The distance calculator action is for comparing two IP addresses.
Does the result prove where a user physically traveled?
No. It calculates geographic distance between IP-based locations and should be treated as location context, not proof of physical movement.
