Build a privacy routine around every new channel
Use a new-channel trigger to establish a clear Notis routine for anonymizing sensitive strings in messages for that channel.
Trigger
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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
New workspaces and channels can start collecting personal details before anyone remembers to set a consistent handling habit.
- Prompt a privacy routine when a new channel appears.
- Reduce reliance on remembering privacy practices during setup.
- Use one instruction to process sensitive message strings with Anonyflow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Anonyflow to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation by asking Notis conversationally or using the portal.
- 3Write one instruction explaining how Notis should anonymize sensitive strings in new-channel messages with Anonyflow.
- 4Select New Channel Created as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test the instruction with a newly created test channel and a fictional example post.
Questions about this workflow
Does channel creation provide a message to anonymize?
No. This trigger fires when a channel is created. The prompt should describe a useful follow-up routine; a message-specific anonymization action needs relevant text to process.
Can this automatically change channel settings?
No. The supplied Anonyflow actions cover anonymization, deanonymization, and connection testing.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
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.
New Channel Created Trigger
Triggered when a new channel is created in Slack.
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>"]))`
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
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())`
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Message Reaction Removed
Triggered when a reaction is removed from a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
Reaction Added Trigger
DEPRECATED: use `SLACK_MESSAGE_REACTION_ADDED` instead. Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack.
