Keep personal details from following every DM
When a new Slack DM arrives, ask Notis to anonymize the personal strings that do not need to travel with the request.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
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
A quick request can include personal details that follow along when you turn it into another task or update.
- Reduce the chance of carrying extra personal detail into task notes.
- Make it easier to act on the request without repetitive redaction.
- Use Anonyflow on string values from the message.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Anonyflow to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis for the outcome.
- 3Give one instruction asking Notis to anonymize unnecessary personal identifiers in each incoming DM.
- 4Select Direct Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a DM containing fictional personal details.
Questions about this workflow
Will it remove the personal detail from Slack itself?
No. The action anonymizes values and does not edit the original DM.
Can I specify which details matter?
Yes. Describe the intended strings in the plain-language prompt, keeping in mind the action supports string lists rather than nested objects.
