Make secret scanning alerts impossible to miss
Security alerts need a fast path from detection to coordinated follow-up.
Trigger
New Secret Scanning Alert Detected
Triggers when a new secret scanning alert is detected in a repository.
Action
Add tag to a contact
Why this helps
A leaked secret can demand immediate action, but the alert may remain isolated in GitHub.
- Surfaces security-related follow-up in Intercom.
- Creates consistent categorization for urgent cases.
- Reduces the chance of missing a sensitive customer-impacting issue.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Intercom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it.
- 3Use this instruction: When GitHub detects a new secret scanning alert, add the security-alert tag to the matching Intercom contact or conversation and include the alert link in a note if needed.
- 4Select the secret scanning alert trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 5Test with one real or safely simulated alert.
Questions about this workflow
Will the secret value be exposed?
The instruction should tell Notis to include alert metadata and links, never the secret itself.
Can tags differ by alert type?
Yes. Describe the tag rules for token type, validity, or exposure status.
