Turn a sensitive-content flag into a privacy action
React to a Slack message that needs privacy cleanup and have Notis anonymize the relevant strings with Anonyflow.
Trigger
Message Reaction Added
Triggered when a reaction is added to a message in Slack. Supports optional filtering by channel and emoji name.
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
Noticing sensitive information is only useful if the follow-up privacy step does not get lost in a long thread.
- Convert a quick flag into a concrete privacy action.
- Reduce the burden of tracking flagged messages manually.
- Keep anonymization close to the moment you notice the issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Anonyflow to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a reaction-triggered automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to anonymize sensitive strings from the reacted-to message using Anonyflow.
- 4Select Message Reaction Added and specify the intended reaction or channel if applicable.
- 5Test on a message with fictional sensitive text.
Questions about this workflow
Can the trigger be limited to a privacy emoji?
The supplied trigger supports optional filtering by emoji name and channel.
Does adding a reaction conceal the message for everyone?
No. The trigger starts the automation; Anonyflow's listed action anonymizes values and does not change Slack visibility.
