Why this helps
A request buried in conversation can be missed when someone needs to remember it and return to it later.
- Use a reaction as a lightweight lookup cue.
- Reduce the need to write a separate follow-up request.
- Keep lookup reporting in a chosen channel.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ip2location to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation and describe in plain language which reacted-to message should prompt an IP geolocation lookup.
- 3Select Message Reaction Added as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 4Test by adding the intended reaction to a real message containing an IP.
