Keep Your Team's Names Out of Public Issues
Customer and vendor visibility into public issues shouldn't expose your team.
Trigger
Public Team Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is posted on a *public-team* Linear issue. For private teams (lock icon in Linear's sidebar) use `LINEAR_PRIVATE_TEAM_COMMENT_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
Public issues (e.g., feature requests, public roadmap items) reference internal people: assigned developer names, product manager who requested it, or CEO who approved it. External people see the issue, learn who works on what, and sometimes contact them directly. Your team gets unsolicited messages, and privacy boundaries blur.
- Protects employee privacy
- Prevents direct external contact
- Reduces social engineering risk
- Maintains team boundaries
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Linear and Anonyflow integrations to Notis.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new issue is created in a public Linear team, anonymize any employee names, email addresses, and team member identifications.'
- 3Set the trigger to 'Public Team Issue Created'.
- 4Use your public comms Slack channel for notifications.
- 5Test by creating a public team issue mentioning team members and verify names are redacted.
Questions about this workflow
Should I avoid assigning issues to specific people?
No. Keep internal assignments for your team's workflow. Just don't expose them in the public view. Use a separate internal issue or comment for detailed ownership.
What if the assignee's name needs to be visible for customer communication?
Create a separate external issue or use a support ticket system. Linear's public issues are for scope, not support contact.
Does this affect @mentions between team members?
Only if those mentions show up in the issue body that external people can see. Internal comments stay internal.
