Pause risky email delivery after a secret alert
During an incident, protect deliverability while the root cause is being handled.
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
Add suppression
Tool to add a suppression entry. use after detecting a bounce, spam complaint, or manual block.
Why this helps
Incident response can overlook email automation, allowing messages to reach an affected or compromised address.
- Adds a safety check during incident response
- Reduces accidental sends to affected addresses
- Gives founders one less system to remember
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Mailcoach to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Tell Notis: When GitHub detects a confirmed secret scanning alert, add the identified affected address to Mailcoach suppression and report what was done.
- 4Pick the secret scanning trigger, choose a secure run-report channel, and test with a non-production example.
Questions about this workflow
Can this run only for active secrets?
Yes. Include the token validity condition in the prompt.
What if GitHub does not provide an email address?
