Escalate GitHub secret scanning alerts into Todoist
When GitHub spots an exposed token or key, Notis creates a clear Todoist response task so rotation and investigation enter your active queue.
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
Create task
Create a new task in todoist. this action allows users to create tasks with various parameters including content, due dates, priority, and more. the task can be created in a specific project, section, or as a subtask of another task.
Why this helps
Credential exposure is time-sensitive, yet the alert can arrive while attention is elsewhere and get mixed into routine repository activity.
- Makes sensitive incidents immediately actionable
- Carries validity and exposure details into the response task
- Creates a durable checkpoint for rotation and investigation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Todoist once in Notis.
- 2Tell Notis to create an urgent Todoist task whenever GitHub detects a new secret scanning alert.
- 3Select New Secret Scanning Alert Detected and your preferred run-report channel.
- 4Test with a safe, controlled secret-scanning example.
Questions about this workflow
Does the automation put the secret value in Todoist?
Your prompt should ask Notis to include only safe alert metadata and the GitHub link, never the credential itself.
Can active tokens receive higher urgency?
Yes. Ask Notis to prioritize alerts whose token validity is active or whose exposure is public.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Todoist. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Todoist 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.
Add Workspace
Tool to create a new workspace in todoist. use when you need a separate workspace to organize projects. generates uuid and temp id automatically.
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.
Close Task
This tool marks an existing task as completed in todoist. it requires the `task id` of the task to be closed.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Create Comment
Tool to create a new comment in todoist. use when you need to add a note to a specific task or project after confirming its id.
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.
Create Label
Creates a new label.
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.
Create Project
Creates a new project in todoist.
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.
Create Section
Tool to create a new section within a specific project. use when you need to group tasks under a new heading in a project.
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.
Create task
Create a new task in todoist. this action allows users to create tasks with various parameters including content, due dates, priority, and more. the task can be created in a specific project, section, or as a subtask of another task.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Delete Label
