Escalate GitHub secret alerts instantly
If a credential appears in a repository, you should hear about it immediately.
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
Send Message
Tool to send a push notification with optional title, URL, priority, sound, attachments, and filters.
Why this helps
Security alerts demand fast action but are easy to overlook during a busy founder day.
- Shorten security response time
- Highlight secret validity and exposure
- Create a clear interruption for high-risk events
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Pushover to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use this instruction: Send an urgent Pushover notification for every new GitHub secret scanning alert, stating the secret type, validity, repository, and direct alert link.
- 4Select the secret-scanning trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Test it with one real alert or controlled test example.
Questions about this workflow
Can active secrets get stronger alerts?
Yes. Ask Notis to use urgent priority when the detected secret is active or publicly exposed.
Does this workflow expose the secret value?
No. The alert can describe the secret type and status without including the credential itself.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Pushover. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Pushover 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.
Cancel Receipt Retries
Tool to cancel further retries for an emergency-priority message before its expiry. Use when you no longer want Pushover to keep attempting delivery of an urgent notification.
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.
Cancel Retries by Tag
Tool to cancel retries for all active emergency-priority Pushover messages matching a specific tag. Use after sending emergency messages when you want to stop further retries for a given tag.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

Fetch Pending Messages
Tool to download pending messages for a registered device. Use after device registration to retrieve messages queued server-side.
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.
Pushover Client Login
Tool to authenticate a Pushover user by email and password. Use when you need to obtain a user key and session secret. Include twofa code if prompted by a prior HTTP 412 response.

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.
Client Realtime WebSocket Connection
Tool to establish a secure WebSocket connection for real-time message notifications. Use after obtaining device ID and secret to receive instant push events.

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.
