Make security follow-up harder to miss
When a new code scanning alert appears, Notis creates a clear Dropbox note with the context needed for triage.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create paper document
Creates a new dropbox paper document at the specified path using html or markdown content.
Why this helps
Security alerts compete with product work and can remain unresolved without a visible follow-up trail.
- Creates a durable alert record
- Keeps severity and location visible
- Supports consistent security triage
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Dropbox to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation or ask Notis to write each new code scanning alert to a Dropbox security log.
- 3Select the New Code Scanning Alert Created trigger and choose a run-report channel.
- 4Generate one test alert and confirm the Dropbox note.
Questions about this workflow
Can alerts be filtered by severity?
Yes. Configure the GitHub trigger for the relevant severity and tell Notis what context to include.
What information is useful in the note?
The alert number, rule, severity, scanning tool, affected location, repository, and GitHub link are useful starting points.
