Never Store Credit Card Numbers in Issues

Payment debugging goes sideways fast. Remove card data before it becomes a liability.

Trigger

Issue Created Trigger

Triggered when a new issue is 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

When payment failures happen, customers sometimes include their card number or offer to let you test with it. Team members paste it into the issue for reference. Now your company is liable for storing card data, and a Linear breach becomes a data breach. PCI compliance gets harder to prove.

  • Reduces PCI compliance burden
  • Eliminates cardholder data liability
  • Protects against data breach liability
  • Simplifies audit trails

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Set up Linear and Anonyflow integrations with Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new Linear issue is created, anonymize any credit card numbers, expiry dates, or CVV codes in the description.'
  • 3Select 'Issue Created' as your trigger.
  • 4Configure Notis to notify your payments team when redaction happens.
  • 5Test with a sample card number (use 4242424242424242 for testing) and verify it's removed.

Questions about this workflow

How do I debug payment issues if the card data is removed?

Use your payment processor's dashboard or API. Never store card data in issue tracking systems. Reference the transaction ID in the issue instead.

Does this protect other financial data?

This automation focuses on card data. For bank accounts, routing numbers, and other financial info, set up additional automations.

What about partial card numbers for identification?

Anonymize the whole number. Use a transaction ID or order reference instead to identify the payment.
