Recover original values from changed issue comments
When an anonymized value is needed to act on a comment, Notis can pass the selected string to Anonyflow for recovery.
Trigger
GitHub Issue Comment Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub issue comment changes. Monitors the following fields for changes: - ``body`` -- the text content of the comment (detects edits) - ``updated_at`` -- the last-updated timestamp - ``reactions_*`` -- all individual reaction counts (thumbs up/down, laugh, confused, heart, hooray, eyes, rocket) and the total count When a change is detected, the payload includes the full current comment data plus a ``changed_fields`` list indicating exactly which fields were modified.
Action
Deanonymize Value
Tool to deanonymize one or more anonymized string values. use when you need to recover the original plaintext values after encryption-based anonymization. example: `deanonymizevalue().execute(deanonymizevaluerequest(data=["<anonymized string>"]))`
Why this helps
Recovering a redacted value by hand interrupts the conversation and can delay the next step.
- Restore only the strings needed for a trusted follow up.
- Reduce back and forth to locate anonymized originals.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Anonyflow once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and describe the intended outcome in plain language.
- 3Ask Notis to deanonymize specified Anonyflow anonymized strings from each changed issue comment when needed for a trusted follow up.
- 4Pick the issue comment changed trigger and choose a private report channel.
- 5Test with one real comment that contains an anonymized value.
Questions about this workflow
What comment changes can trigger it?
The trigger tracks comment text edits, update time, and reaction counts for a specific comment.
Can it recover a string that was not anonymized by Anonyflow?
Deanonymize Value is intended to recover Anonyflow anonymized strings and requires a compatible anonymized value.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Anonyflow. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Anonyflow actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Deanonymize Packet
Tool to deanonymize a json data packet using your private key. use after receiving an anonymized packet to recover specific fields.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Deanonymize Value

Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Test Connection
Tool to test the connection to the anonyflow api. use when verifying that the anonyflow service is reachable and operational before performing anonymization tasks. example: `testconnection().execute(testconnectionrequest())`
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
