See the abuse report history for a flagged IP

When someone flags an address in WhatsApp, retrieve its report history and send the result to your run report channel.

Trigger

New Message Received

Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.

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

A single reputation score may not answer who reported an address or what its report history contains.

  • Retrieve report history when a message flags an IP.
  • Keep investigation context with the automation report.
  • Spend less time opening a separate lookup tool.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect WhatsApp and Abuselpdb once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel to create one.
  • 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify a flagged IP in each incoming message and fetch its abuse reports.
  • 4Pick the New Message Received trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real message identifying an IP address.

Questions about this workflow

Can I filter the retrieved reports?

The action supports optional filters such as status, date range, reporter, and pagination, where available to the automation.

What if a message mentions more than one IP?

State in your instruction whether Notis should look up each identifiable IP or ask for clarification when there is more than one.

Message Status Updated

Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
