Anonymize sensitive text before an Ably broadcast

Keep private strings out of your broadcast workflow. Start with a webhook, anonymize the supplied text, then share the safe result through Ably.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Anonymize Value

Tool to anonymize a string or array of string values. use when you need to conceal sensitive text before storage or transmission. example: `anonymizevalue().execute(anonymizevaluerequest(data=['secret']))` limitations: only supports list of strings, not nested structures.

Why this helps

A quick broadcast can expose private text when someone forgets to scrub a message before sending it.

  • Reduces manual redaction before sharing
  • Keeps the privacy step close to the incoming request
  • Supports strings or arrays of strings

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Ably and Anonyflow once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
  • 3Describe the outcome in one instruction: anonymize the supplied strings with Anonyflow, then broadcast the anonymized result through Ably.
  • 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real example containing strings only, since this action does not accept nested structures.

Questions about this workflow

Can this anonymize a nested JSON payload?

No. Anonyflow's Anonymize Value action supports a string or array of strings, not nested structures. Supply the relevant strings directly.

What starts this workflow?

A Notis webhook starts it when an HTTP request arrives. Ably does not provide trigger events in this setup.
