Escalate exposed GitHub secrets into Linear immediately
Credential alerts need a response, not a bookmark. Notis creates an urgent Linear incident without copying the secret value, giving the team a clear place to coordinate revocation and follow-up.
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 linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
A leaked token demands several steps under pressure, and the alert can remain unassigned while everyone assumes someone else has started the response.
- Creates an explicit ownerable incident as soon as GitHub detects the secret.
- Summarizes validity and exposure signals without placing the sensitive value in Linear.
- Gives revocation, rotation, and verification work one visible place to progress.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Linear securely through the Notis portal.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When GitHub detects a new active secret, create an urgent Linear incident without including the secret value and add a short response checklist.'
- 3Choose New Secret Scanning Alert Detected as the trigger and select the channel for immediate run reports.
- 4Test with a non-production sample alert and verify that no sensitive value appears in Linear.
Questions about this workflow
Will Notis copy the leaked credential into Linear?
Your instruction should explicitly prohibit that. Notis can use the alert's secret type, validity, and exposure flags while omitting the credential value.
Can inactive secrets be handled differently?
Yes. Describe separate handling by token validity in the prompt, such as urgent issues for active tokens and lower-priority follow-up for inactive ones.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Linear 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 linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
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 a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
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 linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
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.
Get create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
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 a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
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.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
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.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Download issue attachments
Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.
Connect any two apps with Notis in the middle.
Not just GitHub and Linear. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
