Recover anonymized values when the work calls for them
When an authorized Slack message provides anonymized strings, have Notis ask Anonyflow to deanonymize those values for the next step.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
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>"]))`
Why this helps
Sometimes a privacy-safe placeholder needs to be resolved for an authorized task, and finding the right values again creates friction.
- Reduce manual recovery steps for previously anonymized strings.
- Keep the restore action tied to an explicit incoming Slack message.
- Use the dedicated Anonyflow value-deanonymization action.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Anonyflow to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to create a message-based workflow.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to pass only authorized anonymized strings from the new message to Anonyflow for deanonymization.
- 4Select Channel Message Received and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with a valid non-sensitive anonymized example and confirm access is appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
Can this recover any arbitrary text?
Deanonymize Value is for previously anonymized strings and requires the relevant values to be available to the action.
Does it handle a whole encrypted JSON packet?
No. This workflow uses Deanonymize Value for strings. Anonyflow also provides a separate Deanonymize Packet action for JSON packets.

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.
