Contain exposed secrets in transformation code

A secret-scanning alert can trigger immediate removal of the affected live transformation.

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

Delete Transformation

Delete a published transformation by ID. Note that RudderStack never deletes a transformation revision. Use this when you need to remove a transformation from the system.

Why this helps

Exposed credentials demand speed, but manual tool-hopping slows containment during a stressful incident.

  • Shortens the path from detection to containment
  • Reduces decisions during an incident
  • Prevents a known-compromised transformation from continuing to process events

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and RudderStack Transformation once via Notis.
  • 2Create “Secret alert removes transformation.”
  • 3Use this instruction: “When a qualifying GitHub secret-scanning alert affects a published transformation, delete that published RudderStack transformation and report the action immediately.”
  • 4Select New Secret Scanning Alert Detected, choose an urgent reporting channel, and test only in a safe environment.

Questions about this workflow

Is deletion reversible?

RudderStack does not delete transformation revisions, but the published transformation itself is removed; test carefully before enabling production use.

Should this apply to every secret alert?

No. Scope the instruction to the secret types and repositories that should trigger containment.

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to RudderStack Transformation. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

GitHub triggers

RudderStack Transformation 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.

TriggerPolling

Create Library

Tool to create a library in RudderStack Transformation. Use when you need to create reusable JavaScript or Python code that can be imported in transformations. Libraries enable code reusability and version maintenance.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Create Transformation

Tool to create a RudderStack transformation. When publish=false (default), creates an unpublished transformation not available to event traffic. When publish=true, publishes the transformation making it live for incoming events and connectable to destinations.

ActionInstant

New Branch Created

Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

TriggerPolling

Delete Transformation

Delete a published transformation by ID. Note that RudderStack never deletes a transformation revision. Use this when you need to remove a transformation from the system.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Get library by ID

Retrieves a single published library by its unique identifier. Use when you need to fetch details of a specific library.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Get Library Version

Tool to retrieve a single library version by library ID and version ID. Use when you need to fetch details of a specific library revision in RudderStack transformations.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Get Transformation

Tool to retrieve a published transformation by its ID from RudderStack. Use when you need to fetch details about a specific transformation including its code, version, and associated destinations.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Get Transformation Version

Retrieve a single transformation revision by transformation ID and version ID. Use when you need to get details about a specific version of a RudderStack transformation.

ActionInstant

Commit Event

Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.

TriggerInstant

List All Libraries

Tool to retrieve all published libraries for a workspace. Use when you need to list available libraries for transformations.
