Pabbly Connect

Text Anonymization Guide

Audience: first-time users configuring a Pabbly Connect workflow to call the Anonymator API.

---

1️⃣ Overview

This guide walks you through how to configure a Pabbly Connect workflow to send a POST request to the Anonymator API for text anonymization.

You’ll learn how to:

• Add the API module
• Configure the endpoint URL
• Set up authentication
• Define the JSON request body
• Execute the workflow and verify the response

---

2️⃣ Add the API Module

In your Pabbly Connect workflow, click “+ Step” → “API” → “API by Pabbly”.
Select POST as the request method.

---

3️⃣ Configure URL & Method

In API (Pabbly) → Execute API Request, set:

• Action Event Method: POST
• API Endpoint URL: https://anonymator.app/api/anonymize

Tip: Leave Payload Type as JSON and Wrap Request in Array as No (default). We’ll add headers and body in the next steps.

---

4️⃣ Set Authentication (Bearer Token)

In the Authentication dropdown, select Bearer Token.
Then, in the Bearer Token field, paste your API key from the Anonymator Portal.

Example: $2y$12$AJ0kk.3XQZe3Uh8ppuJ8dU.1mqBfcs8taqmJM2OCBv3QSndAcklVEK

🔒 Keep your API key secure — never share it publicly or commit it to repositories.

---

5️⃣ Define Request Body (Set Parameters)

Enable Set Parameters and configure the anonymization input:

• Parameter Label: strings
• Parameter Value: ["{{1.text}}"]

Click in the Parameter Value field and select the text variable from the previous step (e.g. 1. text: Hi, I live in Romania!).
Pabbly will automatically map this value into the array format expected by the Anonymator API.

💡 The strings parameter must always be an array — even for a single text input.

---

6️⃣ Execute & Verify Response

Click Save & Send Test Request to run your setup.
If everything is configured correctly, you’ll receive a response containing three fields:

• anonymized_strings — array of anonymized text(s)
• secret — appears only if your API key allows de-anonymization
• token_count — number of tokens processed in this request

Example response:

Code
 
{
  "anonymized_strings": ["Hi, I live in [COUNTRY-1]!"],
  "secret": "J2Oy6Uq5-TTfC-tXyz-WghP-T7ZMaeyzby9t",
  "token_count": 20
}

---

✅ Summary

You’ve successfully connected Pabbly Connect with the Anonymator API.
Your workflow can now automatically anonymize text by sending POST requests to: https://anonymator.app/api/anonymize

You can use the anonymized output in any subsequent steps — for example, forwarding it to another app, saving it to a database, or triggering follow-up actions based on the anonymized content.
