Turn a domain question in your DMs into a lookup
When someone sends a domain question directly, Notis can check its WHOIS details while the request is still in view.
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
IP2WHOIS Domain Lookup
Tool to retrieve WHOIS information for a domain. Use when you need registrar and contact details for a specific domain.
Why this helps
Direct message requests are easy to lose when they require leaving the conversation to do a separate lookup.
- Handle lightweight domain research from the request itself.
- Reduce the memory burden of circling back to a DM.
- Get available registration details before responding.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Ip2whois to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal, or ask Notis to check domains included in direct-message research requests.
- 3Describe the lookup in one plain-language instruction, including what makes a DM request relevant.
- 4Choose the Slack direct-message trigger and a run-report channel, then test with a real domain question.
Questions about this workflow
Does the DM trigger include channel messages?
No. This workflow uses the Slack direct-message trigger; use a channel-message workflow for channel discussions.
Can it reply to the sender with the result?
Describe the desired follow-up in the automation prompt and check that behavior with a test run.
