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
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Place
Tool to create a new place for location-based assets. use when you need to register a new physical place under an organization.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create QR Template
Tool to create a new qr code template. use when you need reusable design presets for qr codes.
New Workflow Artifact Created
Triggers when a new workflow artifact is created in a GitHub repository. Monitors for newly created GitHub Actions workflow artifacts. Optionally filters by artifact name to restrict monitoring to specific artifacts.
Create Tag
Tool to create a new tag for organizing qr codes and other objects. use when you need to categorize qr codes under a specific organization.
Branch Changed
Triggers when a GitHub branch changes. Monitors a specific branch for: - New commits pushed (head commit SHA changes) - Protection status toggled (branch becomes protected or unprotected) - Protection settings changed, including: required status checks and their enforcement level, admin enforcement, required pull request reviews (dismiss stale reviews, code owner reviews, approving review count, last push approval), required linear history, force push allowance, deletion allowance, conversation resolution, branch locking, and fork syncing.
Create User
Tool to create a new user. use when onboarding a new user under your organization (reseller plan and above).
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Delete QR Code
Tool to delete a qr code by its id. use when you need to remove an existing qr code after validation.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed
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.
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.
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 Tag
Tool to delete a tag by its id. use when you need to remove an existing tag 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.
List Bulk QR Code Collections
Tool to list bulk qr code collections. use when you need to filter, search, or order your bulk qr code collections.
