Notis

Check suspicious domains shared in Slack

Turn a questionable link into a clear threat review before anyone clicks again.

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

Suggest Domain Threat

Tool to suggest a fqdn as a potential threat. use after identifying a suspicious domain to verify its threat categorization.

Why this helps

Security concerns get buried in busy channels and nobody remembers to investigate the link.

  • Reduces manual copy and paste during incident triage
  • Creates a consistent first pass for questionable domains
  • Keeps the investigation tied to the original Slack context

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slackbot and Dnsfilter once in Notis
  • 2Create an automation named Slack domain threat check
  • 3Tell Notis to extract a suspicious domain from each channel message and request a Dnsfilter threat suggestion
  • 4Pick Channel Message Received as the trigger and choose a report channel
  • 5Test with one real message containing a domain

Questions about this workflow

Does this block the domain automatically?

No. It requests a threat suggestion so a person can review the result before changing policy.

Can it inspect every Slack message?

It runs only for the Slack channel message trigger you select.
