Why this helps
Investigating unusual API traffic can pull a founder between logs, team chat, and lookup tools.
- Keep caller IP context with the API discussion.
- Reduce back-and-forth between log review and manual lookups.
- Give the team a consistent check for unexpected addresses.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ip2proxy to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Tell Notis to check caller IPs shared in API investigation messages and report proxy, VPN, or Tor status.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger, set a channel for run reports, and test with one real caller IP.
