Recover authorized values from a device update

When an authorized device workflow sends anonymized strings to your Notis webhook, Notis can ask Anonyflow to recover the original values.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Deanonymize Value

Recover the original text from anonymized values.

Why this helps

Teams may need original values for a specific authorized task, but manual recovery adds a step to every incoming update.

  • Handle incoming protected strings through one webhook workflow.
  • Reduce repeated manual recovery steps for authorized tasks.
  • Keep value recovery separate from packet-level recovery.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and Anonyflow once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
  • 3Tell Notis to send incoming Anonyflow-anonymized strings to Anonyflow for authorized deanonymization.
  • 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Send one real anonymized string example and review the recovered value.

Questions about this workflow

What input does this action support?

It deanonymizes one or more anonymized string values. Use the packet action for JSON packets.

Can any recipient recover the original values?

Recovery depends on the required Anonyflow access and authorization. Connect and configure the appropriate account before using this workflow.

Does the workflow anonymize new device values?

No. This action recovers values that were previously anonymized. Use Anonymize Value to conceal new strings.
