Add IP context to Slack support investigations

Keep customer access investigations moving by checking an IP as soon as it is shared in Slack.

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

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

Support investigations stall when access details require a separate manual lookup before anyone can respond.

  • Add a useful IP classification to an active support discussion.
  • Reduce tool switching while coordinating a customer investigation.
  • Help the team decide what context to gather next.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Ip2proxy to Notis once.
  • 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set it up in plain language.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to check IPs shared with support access reports and return proxy, VPN, or Tor status.
  • 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports, then test with a real support example.

Questions about this workflow

Does this resolve a customer support issue automatically?

No. It checks the IP classification and provides context for the support team's investigation.

Must the message be in a channel?

This workflow uses Slack's channel message trigger, which does not match direct messages.
