Stop Broadcasting Customer Email Addresses
Your team shares customer emails in comments all the time. Anonymize them on arrival.
Trigger
Comment Received Trigger
Triggered when a comment is received.
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
Team members discuss customer issues and paste email addresses into comments for context. Those emails stay in Linear forever, searchable by anyone. The customer later opts out or complains, and you realize their email was exposed across dozens of issues. It's not malicious, just thoughtless, and hard to audit afterward.
- Prevents email address harvesting
- Reduces GDPR/privacy violations
- Stops accidental customer enumeration
- Keeps audit logs clean
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Set up Linear and Anonyflow integrations with Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a comment is posted on a Linear issue, anonymize any customer email addresses or phone numbers.'
- 3Select 'Comment Received' as the trigger.
- 4Use your team Slack channel for notifications.
- 5Test by posting a comment with a customer email and verify it's redacted.
Questions about this workflow
Will team members know the comment was redacted?
Notis notifies your channel when redaction happens, so context is available for those who need it.
What if I need the original email later?
Store customer contact info in a separate CRM or database. Use Linear for issue tracking, not customer data.
Does this redact internal team emails too?
It anonymizes all email patterns. If you want to protect only external emails, let Notis know during setup.
