Phishing Analysis - URLScan.io and VirusTotal
Turn suspicious inbox traffic into triaged threat intelligence automatically. Every reported email gets URLs extracted, scanned against urlscan.io and VirusTotal, and the verdict pushed to your security channel.

Detail
What it actually does.
- Pulls reported or unread phishing emails from a shared Outlook mailbox on a schedule
- Extracts URLs and other indicators of compromise from each message body
- Submits suspicious URLs to urlscan.io and retrieves the threat verdict
- Cross-checks the same indicators against VirusTotal for a second opinion
- Consolidates scan results into a clear risk summary per email
- Posts verdicts and evidence links to a Slack channel for analyst review
- Marks processed messages as read so the same email is never triaged twice
Common questions
Before you book a call.
Answers to what most teams ask when they look at a workflow like this. If yours is not here, ask us on the call.
Can you build this it ops workflow for our team?
Yes. We design and ship workflows like this as part of our Data & Analytics practice. The fastest way to scope it is a 30-minute call — we share what we would build, what it would cost, and how fast it would ship.
What tools does this workflow use?
The default build connects HTTP Request, Slack, and Outlook, plus 1 other integrations. The same pattern works on n8n, Make, or Zapier for simpler runs, or as a custom Node or Python service when reliability and volume justify the build. See Workflow Automation for how we choose the right platform per use case.
What does a build like this typically cost?
Most workflows of this complexity sit inside a Discovery sprint or a small Build engagement rather than a fixed-price product. See our pricing model for how engagements are structured, or book a call and we will scope this specific workflow against your stack.
Have you shipped something like this for clients?
Yes. See our case studies for examples of automation and AI builds we have delivered, including a podcast platform we took from zero to 261K monthly Google impressions in six months on a content + automation engine.
What other IT Ops workflows can you build?
Plenty. Browse our other IT Ops workflow ideas for documented patterns, or tell us what you would like to automate — most clients arrive with a problem rather than a specific workflow in mind.
