Notis

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.

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.

Not just Blackboard and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
