Check GitHub vulnerability reporting alongside course operations
Make a small security check part of your operating rhythm before it becomes urgent.
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 settings are easy to overlook when course delivery and product work dominate the founder's calendar.
- Creates a recurring security checkpoint
- Surfaces repository gaps early
- Reduces reliance on memory
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Blackboard and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to check private vulnerability reporting for repositories supporting active Blackboard programs.
- 3Pick a monthly Notis cron trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 4Test with one production-supporting repository.
Questions about this workflow
Can the check cover multiple repositories?
Yes. List the repositories or describe how Notis should identify the active program repositories.
Does this enable the setting automatically?
No. This workflow checks status and reports the result, leaving the decision with you.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Blackboard to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Blackboard triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
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.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just Blackboard and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
