Introduction
This plugin retrieves the current user IP address without requiring any API key. It also provides a lot of useful information about the user based on his IP such as address coordinates, timezone.
How to set up
Adding the plugin
Add the plugin to your app, and place the IP Detector Complete element on the page.
Once added to your page, the plugin will resolve the data and IP address of the user automatically on page load and expose its data in the element states.
Here's how you can retrieve data :
The plugin is now ready to work without any additional setup.
Note that there's a delay between the page load and the moment where the IP address and the data will be ready (500ms but can be up to 1500ms). If you wish to retrieve the data only when ready, you can create your workflow under the "IP Address resolved" workflow trigger.
Element properties
Automatically detect IP Address
If checked, the plugin will automatically detect and resolve the required address and data and expose it as a state. If you want to trigger the detection manually instead, uncheck this box, this is useful to avoid to add a useless script to your page.

Trigger
If you wish to avoid the plugin to run every time the page load to save performances, you can also trigger it manually.
For that, uncheck the box "☑️ Automatically detect IP Address" in the plugin element property editor.
Then, you will need to trigger the element through a workflow when you wish to retrieve the IP address or data:
The plugin will now resolve the data and address and expose them in the element states.
Note that there's a delay between the trigger and the moment where the IP address and the data will be ready (500ms but can be up to 1500ms). If you wish to retrieve the data only when ready, you can create your workflow under the "IP Address resolved" workflow trigger.
Get an IP
You can also use the plugin to retrieve data (such as address, country, timezone,…) for a defined/custom IP address through a workflow
You will need to trigger the element through a workflow when you wish to retrieve the custom IP data:
Finally, configure the field to tell the plugin which IP you want to retrieve. This field can be formatted as IPv4 or IPv6.
The plugin will now resolve the data and address and expose them in the element states.
If the element states are not empty, they will be overridden.
Note that there's a delay between the trigger and the moment where the IP address and the data will be ready (500ms but can be up to 1500ms). If you wish to retrieve the data only when ready, you can create your workflow under the "IP Address resolved" workflow trigger.
