Turn investigation comments into useful context
A comment that names a certificate event should not require a separate hunt through monitoring tools.
Trigger
New GitHub Issue Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specific GitHub issue. Only genuinely new comments are emitted; edits to existing comments do not produce duplicate events. The payload includes the comment ID, text body, author details, timestamps, and direct links to the comment on GitHub.
Action
Get CertSpotter Event
Tool to retrieve detailed information about a specific certspotter event. use when you need to inspect event metadata after confirming an event id.
Why this helps
Important identifiers get buried in comments, forcing the next person to reconstruct the investigation from scratch.
- Captures event references when they appear
- Improves asynchronous collaboration
- Reduces repetitive investigative searches
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Sslmate cert spotter api to Notis once.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to create it by plain-language request.
- 3Use this instruction: When a new comment on the watched GitHub issue references a CertSpotter event id, retrieve the detailed event information and report it with the comment link.
- 4Select the new GitHub issue comment trigger, choose the run-report channel, and test with one real comment.
Questions about this workflow
Will every comment trigger a lookup?
Use the instruction and GitHub scope to focus the automation on the watched issue and certificate-event references.
Can it handle collaboration across time zones?
Yes. The result can be delivered to a shared run-report channel for asynchronous follow-up.

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