Respond to exposed secrets with urgency
When GitHub's secret scanning detects a leaked credential, Notis immediately blocks your calendar for emergency response so you handle it before the credential causes damage.
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
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Secret scanning finds an exposed token. You get an alert but it doesn't feel as urgent as a customer report, so you delay. Hours pass. Someone uses the exposed credential to access your systems. By the time you realize the breach, damage is done. Secrets need urgent response but alerts alone don't create that urgency.
- Respond to credential leaks within minutes instead of hours by blocking emergency time
- Prevent breaches by treating secret detection as an urgent calendar commitment
- Demonstrate security diligence by having immediate response to exposed credentials
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Google Calendar to Notis
- 2Ask Notis: 'When a secret is detected, add an urgent calendar block for me to rotate it' or set it up in Automations
- 3Mark this automation as high-priority and consider enabling notifications on all your devices
- 4Choose your notification channel and include your security team lead if applicable
- 5Simulate a secret detection and confirm the urgent alert and calendar event appear
Questions about this workflow
What should I do during the calendar block?
Rotate the exposed credential, check logs for misuse, notify your security team, and revoke access if necessary.
Can I automate credential rotation?
Not the secret rotation itself, but Notis will create an urgent calendar block so you prioritize it manually or trigger a script.
Should my whole team know about exposed secrets?
You can include your security lead or just handle it privately. Keep it confidential unless the breach was already discovered externally.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Google Calendar. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Google Calendar actions
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.
Insert Calendar into List
Inserts an existing calendar into the user's calendar list.
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.
Update Calendar List Entry
Updates an existing entry on the user\'s calendar list.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Delete Calendar
Deletes a secondary calendar. use calendars.clear for clearing all events on primary calendars.
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.
Update Calendar
Updates metadata for a calendar.
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.
Clear Calendar
Clears a primary calendar. this operation deletes all events associated with the primary calendar of an account.
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.
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
New Repository Collaborator Added
Triggers when a new collaborator is added to a GitHub repository. Monitors the full list of collaborators on a repository and fires an event for each newly added collaborator. The payload includes the collaborator's GitHub username, account ID, profile URL, avatar URL, permission flags (pull, triage, push, maintain, admin), and assigned role name.
Delete event
Deletes a specified event by `event id` from a google calendar (`calendar id`); this action is idempotent and raises a 404 error if the event is not found.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Create a calendar
Creates a new, empty google calendar with the specified title (summary).
