Send urgent emails for new GitHub secret scanning alerts

Make security findings visible immediately, with the context needed to respond.

Trigger

New Secret Scanning Alert Detected

Triggers when a new secret scanning alert is detected in a GitHub repository. Monitors open secret scanning alerts and fires an event for each newly detected alert. Supports filtering by secret type (e.g., personal access tokens, AWS keys) and by token validity status (active, inactive, unknown). The payload includes the alert number, secret type, validity status, resolution state, timestamps, URLs, and flags for push protection bypass, public exposure, and multi-repo detection.

Why this helps

A critical alert can sit unnoticed while you are focused on product work.

  • Elevates high-risk alerts
  • Preserves the alert link
  • Reduces response delay

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Agent mail in Notis once.
  • 2Create a new automation from the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
  • 3Tell Notis to send an urgent email with the alert type, validity, repository, and link when a secret scanning alert appears.
  • 4Select New Secret Scanning Alert Detected and choose your run-report channel.
  • 5Test with a safe test alert or a real alert notification.
