Recover an Anonyflow value shared in WhatsApp
A customer may send back an Anonyflow-anonymized value that needs to be matched to its original text. Ask Notis to deanonymize that string and return the recovered value in your chosen run report channel.
Trigger
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
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
Recovering a shared anonymized value by hand interrupts the conversation and can slow a needed follow-up.
- Recover original text from supported anonymized strings.
- Reduce manual copying between WhatsApp and privacy tools.
- Keep the result in the selected run report channel for follow-up.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Anonyflow once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis its name and goal in plain language.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to deanonymize a supported Anonyflow string in the inbound message and share the recovered value in the run report.
- 4Choose New Message Received as the trigger and select where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real anonymized value and confirm the recovered text is correct.
Questions about this workflow
Can this recover any string that looks anonymized?
It is intended for values previously anonymized with the compatible Anonyflow process. The action may not recover arbitrary text.
Can it recover an entire JSON packet?
This workflow uses Deanonymize Value for string values. Anonyflow provides a separate Deanonymize Packet action for JSON packets.

Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
