IPGeolocation.io Zapier integrationAutomate IPGeolocation.io with Zapier.

The IPGeolocation.io Zapier integration gives you 0 triggers, 0 actions and 12 searches. It is a lookup kit: hand it an IP address, a place or a browser string, and the next steps of your Zap get location, risk, time zone or device details to work with.

Overview

What the IPGeolocation.io Zapier integration is for

IPGeolocation.io turns an IP address into facts: where it sits, who runs the network, whether it hides behind a VPN, which time zone it lives in. On Zapier, every one of those lookups is a search step (a step that looks something up and hands the answer to the steps after it) inside a Zap, the automation that runs each time its starting event happens.

Three results this integration is good at:

Leads that arrive already located. A form captures the visitor's IP, Find Geolocation Information adds the country and city, and your CRM gets a contact the sales team can route by region.

A risk check before anyone replies. Find IP Security flags proxy, VPN and TOR traffic, and a filter keeps suspicious signups out of the pipeline.

Messages sent at a sensible hour. Find Timezone Information returns the local time and UTC offset, so a follow-up can be planned for the recipient's morning instead of yours.

The limits, plainly. IPGeolocation.io cannot start a Zap: there is no trigger, so the IP always comes from another tool. It cannot write anything either, since there is no action. Every Zap that uses it therefore needs at least three steps, which rules out the free plan.

Vocabulary

Zapier vocabulary in one minute

Eight words come back on this page. Here they are in plain English, once.

Zap
The automation itself: one event that starts it, then one or more steps that run every single time that event happens.
Trigger
The event that starts the Zap. With IPGeolocation.io it always comes from another app, since this one offers none.
Action
The step that writes, sends or moves something for you. IPGeolocation.io has none, so the action lives in another tool.
Search step
A step that looks up something that already exists and passes what it found to the next steps. All twelve operations here are searches.
Task
The unit Zapier bills. One action that completes successfully is one task, and your plan counts those.
Instant vs polling
An instant trigger is reported by the app the moment it happens. A polling trigger is checked by Zapier on a timer instead.
Filter
A step that lets the Zap continue only when what arrived meets your condition, and quietly stops it otherwise.
Multi-step Zap
Anything beyond one trigger plus one action. A search or a filter makes a Zap multi-step, which requires a paid plan.
Cost

What an IPGeolocation.io Zap really costs

IPGeolocation.io is not reserved to paid plans. In practice you still need one, because a search step makes any Zap multi-step.

  • Paid plan requiredYes in practice, searches make Zaps multi-step
  • Free plan100 tasks a month, two-step Zaps only
  • Trigger costZero tasks
  • Each successful actionOne task

The free plan builds two-step Zaps only: one trigger, one action. A lookup needs a trigger to bring the IP, the search itself, then an action to use the answer, which is three steps and a paid plan. On the billing side, the trigger never costs a task, and each action that succeeds counts as one; a failed action is not counted. For reference, the free plan includes 100 tasks a month. How soon the Zap starts depends on the trigger app and on your plan's polling interval below.

Connect

Connect IPGeolocation.io to Zapier in three steps

  1. 01

    Open your connections

    In Zapier, go to the Apps page of your account and click + Add connection. A connection is your IPGeolocation.io account linked once, then reused by every Zap that runs a lookup.

  2. 02

    Pick IPGeolocation.io

    Search IPGeolocation.io in the dialog, select it and click Add connection. Sign in to your IPGeolocation.io account in the tab that opens, the same one whose lookups your Zaps will use.

  3. 03

    Grant access

    Approve the access Zapier asks for. The same connection then serves all twelve searches. Without an IPGeolocation.io account, there is nothing to connect.

First Zap

Your first Zap: screen risky signups before they reach the CRM

GoalCheck the IP of every new form response, drop the ones coming through a proxy, VPN or TOR, and create a CRM contact for the rest.

  1. 01

    Start from the form

    Create a Zap and pick your form tool with its new-response event. Test it: Zapier brings back the three most recent responses so you work from real data, including the IP.

  2. 02

    Add the security search

    Click the plus icon, choose IPGeolocation.io, then Find IP Security under the SEARCH heading of the Action event list. Map the IP from the form.

  3. 03

    Decide what an empty result does

    Leave Successful if no search results are found? off if a missing answer should stop the Zap; switch it on if the contact should still go through.

  4. 04

    Filter, then create

    Add a Filter on what the search returned, then your CRM's create-contact action. Use text rules for text values, or the filter never passes.

  5. 05

    Test and publish

    Test each step and read what came back, then click Publish. Only the CRM step is an action, so only that step counts a task when it succeeds.

Searches

IPGeolocation.io searches

12 search steps look for data that already exists in IPGeolocation.io, so a later step can use it.

All twelve sit at the bottom of the Action event list, under the SEARCH heading. Three settings decide what happens when a lookup does not go as planned.

1

Find Abuse Information

Search

In Zapier“Retrieves abuse contact and reporting information for an IP address, including organization, network, and abuse email details.”

Returns who to contact about misuse coming from an IP: the organization, its network and the abuse email address to write to.

When to use it
a hosting company that wants each attack alert to arrive with the right abuse contact already attached.
Watch out
the IP Address field is mandatory, so the trigger must carry one.
2

Find ASN Information

Search

In Zapier“Retrieves Autonomous System Number (ASN) details for an IP address or ASN, including organization, country, and network information.”

Looks up the autonomous system behind an IP, or an ASN you already know, and returns the organization, country and network that run it.

When to use it
a B2B marketer who wants to see which company network a demo request came from.
Watch out
it accepts either an IP or an ASN, so be clear about which one you are mapping.
3

Find Astronomy Information

Search

In Zapier“The Astronomy API provides sun, moon data using IP, latitude, longitude, or Location.”

Gives sun and moon data for a place, found from an IP, from latitude and longitude, or from a location name.

When to use it
a tour operator that adds sunset details to each booking confirmation, based on where the trip happens.
Watch out
pick one way of describing the place and keep it consistent across Zaps.
4

Find Astronomy Timeseries Information

Search

In Zapier“Look up astronomy details for any location by providing a starting and ending date for the time series.”

Same astronomy data, but across a span of days, between a starting and an ending date you set.

When to use it
an event planner preparing a multi-day outdoor shoot who wants the sun and moon details for every day of it.
Watch out
Starting Date and Ending Date are both required, written as YYYY-MM-DD.
5

Find Bulk IP Geolocation

Search

In Zapier“Retrieves geolocation information (country, city, coordinates, etc.) for multiple IP addresses at once.”

Locates many IP addresses in a single step, returning country, city and coordinates for each one, up to 50,000 at once.

When to use it
a growth team that receives a batch of event signups and wants them all located in one pass.
Watch out
the IP Addresses field is required; the result is a list, so plan how later steps will read it.
6

Find Bulk IP Security

Search

In Zapier“Retrieves security information for multiple IP addresses at once, including proxy, VPN, TOR, and threat intelligence details.”

Runs the security check on a whole batch of IPs, up to 50,000 per request, flagging proxy, VPN and TOR use plus threat signals.

When to use it
a marketplace auditing a list of new seller accounts in one go.
Watch out
IP Addresses is mandatory, and an empty list from the trigger means nothing to check.
7

Find Geolocation Information

Search

In Zapier“Retrieves detailed geolocation information (country, city, coordinates, etc.) for a specified IP address.”

The everyday lookup: one IP in, country, city, coordinates and related location details out.

When to use it
a SaaS company routing inbound trial requests to the regional sales rep based on where the visitor is.
Watch out
IP Address is required; a form tool that does not record IPs leaves this step with nothing to look up.
8

Find IP Security

Search

In Zapier“Retrieves security information about an IP address, including proxy, VPN, TOR, and threat intelligence details.”

Tells you whether a single IP hides behind a proxy, a VPN or TOR, and adds threat intelligence on it.

When to use it
an online store screening new accounts before granting a welcome discount code.
Watch out
IP Address is mandatory, and a filter right after is what actually stops the risky ones.
9

Find Timezone Information

Search

In Zapier“Provides current date, time, UTC offset, and daylight saving info for any timezone, IP address, or geolocation coordinates via timezone API.”

Returns the current date and time, UTC offset and daylight saving status for a time zone, an IP address or a pair of coordinates.

When to use it
a support team stamping each ticket with the customer's local time so replies land during their working day.
Watch out
the answer is the time when the step runs, not when the ticket was opened.
10

Find Time Conversion

Search

In Zapier“Calculates precise time differences in hours and minutes between two locations using time zones, coordinates, or cities”

Works out the gap, in hours and minutes, between two places described by time zone, coordinates or city name.

When to use it
a remote recruiter who needs the offset between the candidate's city and the hiring manager's before proposing a call.
Watch out
describe both places the same way to avoid mismatched results.
11

Find Bulk User Agents

Search

In Zapier“Parses up to 50,000 user agent strings in one request and returns browser, operating system, device, and engine details for each.”

Decodes up to 50,000 browser strings in one request, giving browser, operating system, device and engine for each.

When to use it
a product analyst who exports a session log and wants the device mix without a spreadsheet formula marathon.
Watch out
User Agents is required, and the trigger has to deliver those raw strings, not a summary.
12

Find User Agent

Search

In Zapier“Parses a user agent string and returns browser, operating system, device, and engine details, including bot and crawler identification.”

Reads one user agent string and returns browser, operating system, device and engine, and also tells you whether it belongs to a bot or crawler.

When to use it
a content team that wants bot signups weeded out of the newsletter list.
Watch out
User Agent is mandatory, so check that your starting tool records it.

The three settings every search exposes

  1. Successful if no search results are found?
    Left on its default, a search that finds nothing stops the Zap there and skips the steps that depended on it. Switched on, the Zap carries on without the answer.
  2. Create X if it doesn't exist yet?
    This box turns a search into a find-or-create. IPGeolocation.io offers no such variant, so you will not see it on these twelve searches.
  3. If multiple search results are found?
    Three ways out when several items match: keep the first, which is the default, stop the Zap, or pass all of them on at once.
When it breaks

When an IPGeolocation.io Zap breaks

Zapier attaches no help article to IPGeolocation.io and Zapier documents no app-specific limit, so these are the general failures, applied to lookups.

Here, a lookup that finds nothing matters as much as the limits shared by every Zap. If you are stuck, see the Zapier troubleshooting page.

  • The Zap stops after the search

    With the default setting, a lookup that finds nothing ends the run there. Switch on Successful if no search results are found? if the rest should still happen.

  • Old contacts are never enriched

    A Zap only reacts to what happens after you switch it on. Contacts already in your CRM stay as they are; enriching that backlog is a separate job.

  • The enrichment loops

    If the final action writes into the very place the trigger watches, the Zap sets itself off again and again and burns through your tasks.

  • A big import gets held back

    When the trigger app suddenly returns a huge batch, after a migration for example, Zapier's flood protection can hold the run back.

FAQ

IPGeolocation.io Zapier integration: FAQ

01Is the IPGeolocation.io Zapier integration free?
Not in practice. IPGeolocation.io itself is not reserved to paid plans, but the free plan only builds two-step Zaps: one trigger and one action. This app only offers searches, and a Zap with a search step is a multi-step Zap. Since you need a trigger to bring the IP, the lookup, and an action to use the result, every useful IPGeolocation.io Zap has at least three steps and requires a paid plan.
02How many tasks does an IPGeolocation.io Zap use?
The tasks come from the actions that succeed in your Zap. The trigger never costs a task, an action that fails is not counted, and each successful action is counted on its own. In a Zap that looks up an IP and then creates a CRM contact, the contact creation is the action that bills. Keep in mind that a few apps and actions take more than one task when they complete.
03Does IPGeolocation.io on Zapier work in real time?
That depends on the app that starts the Zap, because IPGeolocation.io has no trigger of its own. If the starting app offers an instant trigger, it tells Zapier the moment something happens and the lookup runs right after. If it relies on a polling trigger, Zapier checks on a timer: 15 minutes on Free, 2 on Professional, 1 on Team and Enterprise. Since this app needs a paid plan anyway, the slowest of these intervals will not apply.
04What do you need to connect IPGeolocation.io to Zapier?
An IPGeolocation.io account, and a trigger app that captures what the searches need. The connection takes three moves: open the Apps page of your Zapier account, click + Add connection and pick IPGeolocation.io, then sign in in the tab that opens and grant access. The harder part is upstream. Most lookups require an IP address, and the user agent searches require the raw browser string, so the starting tool must record them.
05Why does an IPGeolocation.io search stop the Zap?
Because a search that finds nothing ends the run by default. The setting Successful if no search results are found? is off unless you change it, so an unknown IP or an empty field halts the Zap and skips every step that depended on the lookup. Switch it on when the rest of the Zap should still run, for example to create the contact anyway, just without location details. Leave it off when the lookup is the whole point.
06What if the IPGeolocation.io operation you need is missing?
Then look at what the twelve searches already cover before giving up: location, network owner, abuse contacts, security flags, astronomy, time zones, time differences and user agents, each with a bulk option for IPs and browser strings. What none of them can do is start a Zap or write data back, since there is no trigger and no action. If the missing piece is on that side, it has to come from another tool in the same Zap.
07Zapier, Make or n8n for IPGeolocation.io?
Judge them on criteria, not reputation. On Zapier, all twelve lookups are ready to use without code, but each one makes the Zap multi-step, so a paid plan is the starting point. Volume matters next: the bulk searches handle up to 50,000 items per request, which changes how many runs you actually need. Finally, think about who maintains the flow. A no-code team and a developer team will not weigh these the same way.
