Check an IP from a Slack direct message
Forward the mental load of an IP lookup to Notis when an IP arrives in a direct message.
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
Check Proxy Status of an IP
Tool to check if an IP address is a proxy. Use after obtaining an IP to detect proxy, VPN, or Tor status.
Why this helps
DMs create private follow-ups that can be forgotten once you leave the conversation.
- Handle an IP check while the DM is still in view.
- Reduce private follow-up tasks that depend on remembering later.
- Get proxy, VPN, or Tor context with less tool switching.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ip2proxy to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check an IP included in a Slack DM and report its proxy, VPN, or Tor status.
- 4Choose the Slack direct message trigger and a channel for run reports, then test with a real IP in a DM.
