Check protected paths after a secret scanning alert
Contain the secret, then verify the paths that matter.
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
Run test
Execute a test in bugbug and return the test run details. this action allows you to run a specific test with optional configuration for browser, device, viewport, and variable overrides. it returns detailed information about the test run including step-by-step execution status.
Why this helps
A secret alert creates urgent cleanup work, and customer-facing access checks are easy to postpone or forget.
- Adds a repeatable verification step to incident response
- Checks that sensitive paths remain protected
- Reduces reliance on memory during stressful events
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Bugbug to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis: when GitHub detects a secret scanning alert, run the Bugbug protected-access safety test and report the result without exposing the secret value.
- 4Select the new secret scanning alert trigger, choose a secure reporting channel, and test with a non-production example.
Questions about this workflow
Will the secret itself be sent to Bugbug?
The prompt should explicitly tell Notis not to expose secret values and to use only safe alert context.
What should the test cover?
Use checks for authentication, authorization, and sensitive routes relevant to the affected application.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Bugbug. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Bugbug actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Get test run details
Get detailed information about test runs from bugbug. this action retrieves test run details with optional filtering parameters.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
List suites
List all available test suites in the bugbug platform. this tool makes a get request to the /suites/ endpoint and returns a list of available test suites with pagination support.
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.
List tests
Retrieves a list of all available tests in the bugbug account. this action provides access to all tests in the account with pagination support. it returns basic information about each test including its id, name, description, and timestamps.
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.
Run test
Execute a test in bugbug and return the test run details. this action allows you to run a specific test with optional configuration for browser, device, viewport, and variable overrides. it returns detailed information about the test run including step-by-step execution status.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
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.
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.
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.
