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 Announcement
Tool to create an announcement in a course. use after confirming the course id is valid.
Why this helps
Security alerts can sit unnoticed while the founder is focused on product, sales, or customers.
- Surface security issues in the team space people already check.
- Give each alert a concise explanation and direct GitHub context.
- Reduce manual copying between security tools and team communication.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Classroom to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Open Automations -> New Automation, or ask Notis to create this workflow in plain language.
- 3Use one instruction: Post a concise Google Classroom announcement for every new GitHub code scanning alert, including severity, repository, affected location, and a link.
- 4Pick the GitHub code scanning alert trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test it with one real alert or a controlled repository example.
Questions about this workflow
Can the announcement include the alert severity?
Yes. Tell Notis to include the severity, rule, affected location, and GitHub link in the plain-language instruction.
Will this create an assignment?
