Check Your Bolt Device After a GitHub Secret Alert
A new secret alert deserves immediate attention. Let Notis check your Bolt device status while you focus on containing the exposure.
Trigger
New Secret Scanning Alert Detected
Action
Check Bolt device online status
Checks whether a device is online.
Why this helps
Security alerts compete with hardware incidents for attention, making urgent follow-up easy to miss.
- Confirms device connectivity during a security response.
- Creates a clear operational checkpoint without switching tools.
- Helps separate a software exposure from a simultaneous hardware outage.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Bolt IoT to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to build it in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: When GitHub detects a new secret scanning alert, check whether my Bolt device is online and report the result.
- 4Pick the GitHub secret scanning trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test it with one real or safe GitHub alert example.
Questions about this workflow
Does this revoke the exposed secret?
No. It checks the Bolt device and reports the result; containment still happens in your security process.
Can I monitor a specific repository?
Yes. Select the relevant GitHub repository when choosing the trigger.
