Anonymize references for query-matched Drive files
Use your existing Drive query trigger to focus anonymization on newly matching files and the sensitive strings you plan to reuse.
Trigger
New File Matching Query
Triggers when a new Google Drive file matches a provided query. This is the legacy query-centric trigger: it preserves Drive API query config such as ``corpora`` / ``driveId`` aliases and emits the historical ``file_matching_query`` event type. ``FileCreatedTrigger`` covers the broader "new file" case and emits ``file_created``.
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
Query-based file monitoring can surface sensitive names in a stream where people expect only useful matches.
- Run only when a newly created file matches the configured query.
- Reduce repeated review of irrelevant files.
- Return anonymized strings suitable for safer references.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Drive and Anonyflow once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Notis and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to anonymize sensitive strings in the matching file name or supplied reference text and return the anonymized values.
- 4Choose the New File Matching Query trigger and select a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real file that matches the existing query.
Questions about this workflow
Can this workflow create or edit the query?
No. It uses the New File Matching Query trigger and its existing query configuration.
Does Anonyflow anonymize whole files?
No. The action supports lists of strings and does not accept nested structures.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Google Drive to Anonyflow. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Google Drive 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.
Comment Added (Docs/Sheets/Slides)
Triggers when a new comment is added to Google Docs, Sheets, or Slides.
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>"]))`
File Created
Triggers when a new file is created in Google Drive.
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())`
File Deleted or Trashed
Triggers when a file is moved to trash or permanently deleted in Drive.
File Shared (Permissions Added)
Triggers when new sharing permissions are granted to a file or folder. Uses Drive's `changes.list` endpoint with inline `permissions` in the `fields` mask so each change carries the file's current permission set provider-atomically. We diff that against `seen_permission_keys` to identify newly added grants. Drive page tokens are the primary cursor; if Drive rejects a stored token, the trigger raises `PollingTriggerError` without clearing state rather than silently re-baselining and dropping events. Limitation: truly ephemeral permissions (added and revoked between two polls without any other file modification in between) are not detected. Drive Activity API would catch those but requires an additional OAuth scope and a different payload contract.
File Updated
Triggers when a file's metadata or content changes in Google Drive.
Google Drive Changes
Triggers when changes are detected in a Google Drive.
