Fetch abuse reports from Slack DMs

Turn private security questions into a complete abuse history without leaving Slack.

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

Get Abuse Reports

Tool to retrieve a list of abuse reports for a specific ip address. use when you need to fetch historic reports with optional filtering by status, date range, reporter, and pagination.

Why this helps

Important reputation context gets buried in DMs and requires repeated manual lookups.

  • Capture context from private requests
  • Return historic report details
  • Reduce repeated security lookups

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Abuselpdb once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe the report you want in plain language.
  • 3Tell Notis to extract an IP from each DM, retrieve its abuse reports, and summarize status and dates.
  • 4Pick the direct message received trigger and select a report destination.
  • 5Test with one real DM containing an IP address.
