Verify GitHub vulnerability reporting from Dropbox reviews
Security controls are easier to trust when they are checked without relying on memory.
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 review documents in Dropbox identify repositories that need attention, but their GitHub reporting settings are not routinely verified.
- Creates a repeatable security-control check
- Highlights repositories needing follow-up
- Reduces reliance on mental reminders
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Dropbox and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it in plain language.
- 3Instruct Notis to read the Dropbox security review list and check private vulnerability reporting status for each named GitHub repository.
- 4Choose a recurring Notis cron trigger, select the report channel, and test with one repository.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Dropbox to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Dropbox 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.
