How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerNightly schedule fires
  • ActionList and fetch all objects in R2 bucketCloudflareCloudflare R2

  • ActionWrite row-level findings to Postgres audit tablePostgreSQLPostgres
  • LogicRank by severity, keep top offenders
  • OutputPost ranked exposure digest to SlackSlack

What it does

Walks an entire R2 bucket every night, samples and scans each object for PII, and produces a prioritized digest so the team starts each morning knowing exactly which datasets are leaking and where. It does not move files itself — it surfaces and records risk for human triage.

When to use it

Use this for buckets too large or sensitive to gate at write time, where a daily inventory of exposure is the right cadence. Ideal for analytics dumps, log archives, and shared export buckets.

How it works

  1. 1A nightly schedule kicks off the sweep.
  2. 2The flow lists all objects in the R2 bucket and iterates over them.
  3. 3Each object is fetched and scanned by OpenAI for PII type and severity.
  4. 4Findings are written row-by-row to a Postgres audit table for historical tracking.
  5. 5A logic step ranks objects by severity and keeps the top offenders.
  6. 6A formatted digest of the highest-risk objects posts to Slack for morning triage.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect Cloudflare R2Object storage, S3-compatible.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect PostgresAny Postgres URL — query, write, migrate.
  4. 4
    Connect SlackChannels, DMs, threads, mentions.
  5. 5
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  6. 6
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  7. 7
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
