React quickly when a secret is exposed
A secret alert should trigger a destination decision, not a scavenger hunt.
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.
Action
Update QR Code
Tool to update an existing qr code by its id. use when you need to modify qr code attributes; only provided fields are changed.
Why this helps
An exposed credential can create urgent work across systems, and QR destinations may be overlooked during the scramble.
- Shortens incident response time
- Reduces the chance of sending traffic to a risky destination
- Creates a repeatable safety response
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Beaconstac to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in plain language asking Notis to update the specified Beaconstac QR code when a new secret scanning alert is detected.
- 3Select the New Secret Scanning Alert Detected trigger and choose the reporting channel.
- 4Test with one approved incident simulation and verify the destination update.
Questions about this workflow
What should the QR code redirect to?
State the approved safe destination directly in the automation instruction.
Can I limit this to active secrets?
Yes. Tell Notis to act only when the alert context matches the risk condition you care about.

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

Triggers when a specific GitHub check run changes its status or conclusion. Monitors a single check run for changes to: status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.), conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required), started_at, and completed_at.
Create User
Tool to create a new user. use when onboarding a new user under your organization (reseller plan and above).
Check Suite Status / Conclusion Changed
Triggers when a GitHub check suite changes its status or conclusion for a given ref. Monitors all check suites associated with a git reference (branch, tag, or commit SHA) for changes to status (queued, in_progress, completed, etc.) and conclusion (success, failure, neutral, cancelled, skipped, timed_out, action_required, startup_failure, stale). Optionally filters by GitHub App ID.
Delete QR Code
Tool to delete a qr code by its id. use when you need to remove an existing qr code after validation.
New Code Scanning Alert Created
Triggers when a new code scanning alert is created in a repository. Fires an event for each newly created code scanning alert detected in the configured repository. Alerts can be filtered by Git reference, scanning tool, state, and severity. The payload includes the alert number, rule details, tool information, state, severity, and the location of the most recent instance.
Delete QR Code Template
Tool to delete a qr code template by its id. use when you need to permanently remove a qr code template that is no longer needed.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Delete Tag
Tool to delete a tag by its id. use when you need to remove an existing tag after validation.
