Escalate GitHub secret leaks to incident.io instantly
Notis turns each new secret scanning alert into a trackable incident with the evidence responders need to rotate credentials and contain exposure.
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 Incident V2
Tool to create a new incident in incident.io using the V2 API. Use when you need to report and track an operational issue or outage. Requires at minimum an idempotency_key and visibility setting. Optionally specify severity, incident type, custom fields, role assignments, and other attributes.
Why this helps
A leaked token buried in GitHub can sit unnoticed while the founder switches between security dashboards, chat, and incident tooling.
- Starts containment without manual copying
- Carries secret type and exposure status into the response
- Keeps urgent security work visible until resolved
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and incident.io to Notis once.
- 2Ask Notis to create an incident for every new GitHub secret scanning alert, including the repository, secret type, validity, and alert link.
- 3Pick New Secret Scanning Alert Detected as the trigger and choose where Notis should report each run.
- 4Test with one safe test-secret alert and confirm the incident is created.
Questions about this workflow
Can the automation distinguish active from inactive secrets?
Yes. State that active or publicly exposed secrets should receive the highest urgency in the plain-language instruction, and Notis will use the alert context.
Will the leaked credential itself be copied?
The prompt can explicitly tell Notis to include only safe metadata such as secret type, repository, validity, and the GitHub alert link.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to incident.io. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
incident.io 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.
Create Alert Attribute V2
Tool to create an alert attribute in incident.io. Use when you need to define structured data fields that can be parsed from alerts coming in via alert sources. Alert attributes allow you to extract and organize information from incoming alerts.
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.
Create Alert Route V2
Tool to create an alert route in incident.io. Use when you need to configure how alerts should be processed, routed, and potentially converted into incidents based on conditions, grouping rules, and templates.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Alert Source V2
Tool to create a new alert source in incident.io. Use when you need to set up a new integration for receiving alerts from external systems via HTTP webhooks or manual entry.
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.
Create Catalog Entry V2
Tool to create a catalog entry in incident.io. Use when you need to add a new entry to a catalog type with specific attribute values. Catalog entries represent items like teams, services, or custom resources in your incident management workflow.
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.
Create Catalog Entry V3
Tool to create a catalog entry in incident.io using the V3 API. Use when you need to add a new entry to a catalog type with specific attribute values. Catalog entries represent items like teams, services, or custom resources in your incident management workflow.
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 Catalog Type V3
Tool to create a new catalog type in incident.io V3 API. Use when you need to define custom resource types for your organization's catalog, such as teams, services, or infrastructure components.
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.
Create Custom Field Option
Tool to create a new custom field option in incident.io. Use when you need to add a new selectable value to an existing custom field.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Create Custom Field V2
Tool to create a custom field in incident.io using the V2 API. Use when you need to add a new custom field to track additional information during incidents.
