Repair missing required checks on protected branches
Turn branch protection drift into an immediate, policy-based repair instead of a security surprise discovered after the fact.
Trigger
Branch Changed
Action
Add status check contexts
Why this helps
A required status check can disappear during a settings change, and the gap may remain invisible until an unsafe merge path is already open.
- Restores an important merge safeguard quickly
- Reduces manual branch-settings audits
- Keeps the approved check policy consistent
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation with one instruction listing the approved status checks that must remain required on the monitored branch.
- 3Select Branch Changed as the trigger and choose the security-report channel.
- 4Test in a nonproduction branch by removing and then restoring an approved check.
Questions about this workflow
Can this add a check that has never reported on the repository?
No. GitHub requires a status check context to have been reported previously before it can be added to branch protection.
Does the workflow overwrite every branch protection setting?
No. This action adds the required status check contexts specified by the instruction; other protection settings remain separate.
