Respond to exposed secrets faster
A credential alert needs a response path immediately, even on a crowded 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.
Action
Trigger Nango Action
Tool to trigger nango workflow actions via api. use when you need to execute an action by specifying the connection, provider config, and action identifier.
Why this helps
Secret scanning alerts demand urgent attention, but manual copying and escalation can slow down the first response.
- Trigger the right Nango response as soon as an alert appears.
- Preserve token type, validity, repository, and exposure context.
- Avoid relying on memory during a high-pressure security moment.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect your GitHub and Nango integrations once through Notis.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or tell Notis what should happen.
- 3Say: When GitHub detects a new secret scanning alert, trigger my Nango credential-response action with the alert, validity, exposure, and repository details.
- 4Select the secret-scanning trigger, choose where run updates should arrive, and test with one safe example.
Questions about this workflow
Can the alert be filtered by token status?

List Connections
Tool to list all connections. use when you need to retrieve existing connections.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
List Connections
Tool to list all connections without credentials. use when you need connection metadata across your account without exposing credentials.
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 Provider Details
Tool to retrieve details for a specific provider. use when you need to fetch provider configuration details by name (e.g., 'salesforce'). use after selecting the provider.
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.
List Providers
Tool to retrieve a list of all available providers. use when you need to display or iterate through every provider before creating connections.
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.
Get Scripts Configuration
Tool to fetch the nango scripts configuration. use when you need to get the available scripts and their triggers.
New Repository Collaborator Added
