Look up IP locations from Slack messages

Turn a shared IP address into useful location context without leaving the conversation.

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 Get IP Geolocation

Tool to retrieve geolocation data for an IP address. Use when detailed IP location info is needed.

Why this helps

When an IP appears in a busy channel, finding its location can interrupt the work already underway.

  • Get location context from an IP mentioned in a channel.
  • Keep investigation details close to the discussion.
  • Reduce manual copying between Slack and lookup tools.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Ip2location to Notis once.
  • 2In the portal, create an automation and describe in plain language that it should look up IP addresses shared in the chosen channel and report the location.
  • 3Select Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose where Notis should report runs.
  • 4Test with a real channel message containing an IP address.

Questions about this workflow

Does this work with direct messages?

No. This workflow uses Slack's channel message trigger, which does not match direct messages.

What does the lookup return?

IP2Location returns geolocation data for the IP address. The prompt can ask Notis to summarize the result in its run report.
