Introduction
Catch risky signups before they become chargebacks. This workflow checks a visitor’s IP location against the country they submit, then alerts your team in Slack if it doesn’t match. 🚨
Trigger Event
A webhook fires from your form/checkout when someone submits details (include email, claimed country, and IP address).
Actions
- The workflow looks up the visitor’s IP using IPGeolocation to find the real country.
- It compares the submitted country to the IP-derived country.
- If they match, the flow quietly ends.
- If they don’t match, a Slack message posts to your chosen channel, highlighting the suspicious signup (includes the email and context), so your team can review or block the attempt.
Benefits
- Reduce fraud and chargebacks with instant alerts
- Review high-risk signups faster; let safe users pass automatically
- Fewer manual checks and copy-paste lookups
- Clear audit trail in Slack for your security/risk team
