Never lose sight of a critical code scanning alert
Put urgent security work where you are most likely to notice it.
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
Send Text Message
Send a text message to an instagram user via dm.
Why this helps
Security alerts can be buried among routine notifications, especially during a busy launch or support day.
- Raises visibility for urgent risks
- Creates a clear follow-up prompt
- Reduces notification overload by filtering severity
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Instagram to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When GitHub creates a high-severity code scanning alert, send me an urgent Instagram DM with the alert summary and a reminder to investigate it.
- 4Pick the code scanning alert trigger, choose a run-report channel, and test with one representative alert.
Questions about this workflow
Can it focus only on high severity?
Yes. Include the severity condition in the plain-language instruction.
Is Instagram suitable for confidential alert details?
Keep the message high level and instruct Notis not to include secrets or sensitive code.
