Protect outreach when GitHub finds an exposed secret
Build in a safety net that responds before an urgent security task gets lost in the day.
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.
