Before
An analyst would likely look up each IP address separately, record the country, city, and coordinates, and manually create map links. They would then compile the findings into a report and copy the results into an email or another destination for sharing.
How it works
- Accept a manually defined list of IP addresses and process each address individually.
- Retrieve geographic details for every IP, assemble readable records and map links, and derive the unique-country count.
- Send the completed report to a webhook and distribute an HTML version by email.
Workflow details
- IP List Preparation: The workflow starts with a manually defined list of IP addresses to be investigated, allowing multiple addresses to be processed in one run.
- Geographic Enrichment: Each IP address is queried individually to retrieve its country, country code, city, latitude, and longitude.
- Report Assembly: The workflow combines the location data into readable report entries, creates map links from the coordinates, and derives the number of unique countries represented in the results.
- Automated Delivery: The compiled report is sent to a webhook as a structured payload and then formatted into an HTML email with one section per IP address.
- Investigation Support: The resulting report gives recipients a consolidated view of IP locations without requiring them to repeat separate lookups or manually construct map references.
What changed
The complete IP list is processed in one workflow run, with location fields, map links, report formatting, and delivery handled automatically. Human effort is limited to providing the IP list and reviewing the resulting report.
Work removed
Repeatedly looking up each IP address, copying country and city details, recording latitude and longitude, constructing map links, counting distinct countries, assembling report entries, and manually sending the results by email or webhook.
Expected outcome
For a two-IP list like the configured example, the workflow automates two location lookups and one report-assembly and delivery cycle.
