Check private reporting status when a repository needs review

When your scorecard or security review process sends a repository reference, Notis can check its private vulnerability reporting status and return the result.

Trigger

Webhook received

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

Action

Check private vulnerability reporting status

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

Why this helps

Security review signals and repository settings often live in separate tools, leaving a small but important check easy to miss.

  • Run a focused check when another process flags a repository.
  • Bring a GitHub security setting into the review report.
  • Avoid repeating the repository lookup by hand.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect BSC Designer and GitHub once in Notis.
  • 2Create an automation in any channel or in Automations, New Automation.
  • 3In one instruction, describe how the webhook identifies a repository and ask Notis to check its private vulnerability reporting status.
  • 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real repository reference sent through the webhook.

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.

Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.

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