Recover a protected packet when an authorized request arrives
When an authorized DM contains an Anonyflow-protected JSON packet, have Notis pass it to the packet deanonymization action.
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
Deanonymize Packet
Tool to deanonymize a json data packet using your private key. use after receiving an anonymized packet to recover specific fields.
Why this helps
Retrieving protected records can interrupt a task when the request, packet, and privacy tool live in separate places.
- Reduce the manual handoff for an authorized packet recovery.
- Use the action designed for JSON data packets.
- Keep recovery tied to a direct request in Slack.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Anonyflow to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to pass an authorized JSON data packet from an incoming DM to Anonyflow for deanonymization.
- 4Select Direct Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with an appropriate non-sensitive packet and review the output.
Questions about this workflow
Should I use this for individual anonymized strings?
No. The Deanonymize Packet action is for JSON data packets; use Deanonymize Value for individual strings.
Will every incoming DM contain a packet?
No. The prompt should instruct Notis to act only when the message includes the intended authorized packet.
