Protect sensitive text when a sheet range changes
Let a watched range change prompt a quick privacy step for the values you name.
Trigger
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
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
Updates to a shared range can introduce private text that needs review before it is reused elsewhere.
- Starts when values in a chosen A1 range change.
- Applies anonymization to the specific string values named in the prompt.
- Avoids manually checking the range after every edit.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Sheets and Anonyflow once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, identify the spreadsheet context and which changed string values should be anonymized.
- 4Pick Cell Range Values Changed as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real example change in the watched range.
Questions about this workflow
Does the trigger watch the whole spreadsheet?
No. Cell Range Values Changed monitors a specific A1 range that you select as the trigger.
Can I anonymize numbers and nested data with this action?
Anonyflow Anonymize Value supports lists of strings and does not support nested structures. Identify the relevant string values in your instruction.

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.
Aggregate Metric Changed
Triggers when an aggregate metric (SUM/COUNT/AVG/MIN/MAX) changes in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. This trigger monitors an aggregate calculation on a target column (optionally filtered by a search column/value) and fires when the calculated result changes.
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>"]))`
Cell Range Values Changed
Triggers when values in a specified A1 range change in Google Sheets. This trigger monitors a specific cell or range of cells and fires when any values change.
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())`
Conditional Format Rule Changed
Triggers when conditional formatting rules change in a Google Spreadsheet. Detects when rules are added, updated, or removed. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Data Validation Rule Changed
Triggers when data validation rules change (added/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Developer Metadata Changed
Triggers when developer metadata entries change (new/updated/removed) in a Google Spreadsheet. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect changes between polls.
Filtered Range Values Changed
Polling trigger that monitors Google Sheets filtered ranges for value changes. Uses snapshot-based diffing to detect when values matching a data filter change. Emits the matched values when changes are detected.
