Enable AI threat detection when GitHub finds a secret
A security alert should trigger protection, not another task on your mental list.
Trigger
New Secret Scanning Alert Detected
Triggers when a new secret scanning alert is detected in a repository.
Action
Set AI Threat Detection
Why this helps
A newly exposed credential can be easy to miss while you are already handling an incident.
- Responds to high-risk alerts immediately.
- Reduces manual security follow-up.
- Keeps protection consistent during incidents.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and NextDNS to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations or ask Notis to create it conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: When GitHub detects a new secret scanning alert, review the selected NextDNS profile and enable AI threat detection.
- 4Choose the GitHub secret scanning alert trigger and a channel for run reports, then test with one real alert.
Questions about this workflow
Does this revoke the exposed secret?
No. It changes the selected NextDNS security setting; credential rotation remains a separate GitHub or provider task.
Can I choose the profile?
Yes. Mention the profile in the plain-language instruction.
