Pair security research with a repository readiness check

Let Autom gather useful security context on a schedule, then check GitHub's private vulnerability reporting status for the repository under review.

Trigger

Recurring schedule

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

Action

Check private vulnerability reporting status

Checks if private vulnerability reporting is enabled for the specified repository.

Why this helps

Security research and repository settings live in different places, making a simple readiness check easy to postpone.

  • Bring security research and a repository check into one routine
  • See reporting status alongside a concise research summary
  • Keep a repeatable review moving without manual context switching

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Autom and GitHub once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name the security review.
  • 3In one instruction, describe the research topic and specify the repository whose private vulnerability reporting status should be checked.
  • 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real research topic and repository.

Questions about this workflow

What repository information is needed?

Specify the repository owner and name so GitHub can check its private vulnerability reporting status.

Does this turn reporting on or off?

No. The listed GitHub action checks whether the feature is enabled; it does not change the setting.

Can the research replace a security review?

No. Autom can provide web research and GitHub can report the setting status. The workflow does not conduct a full security audit.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link Autom to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Autom triggers

GitHub actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Accept a repository invitation

Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

List repositories starred by the authenticated user

Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.

ActionInstant

List stargazers

Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.

ActionInstant

Star a repository for the authenticated user

Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.

ActionInstant

Add email for auth user

Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.

ActionInstant

Add app access restrictions

Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.

ActionInstant

Add a repository collaborator

Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.

ActionInstant

Add a repository to an app installation

Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.

ActionInstant

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

Autom and GitHub, or any other combination from 1,000+ integrations.
