Investigate Code Scanning Alerts Automatically
Give every new code-scanning alert an immediate reputation check so nothing quietly waits.
Trigger
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.
Action
Get File Report
Tool to retrieve the analysis report of a file. use when you have a file's hash and need detailed scan metadata.
Why this helps
New findings create a queue of small investigations that are easy to postpone.
- Provides immediate external reputation context.
- Makes first-pass triage repeatable.
- Helps founders focus on decisions instead of lookup work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and VirusTotal to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis in plain language.
- 3Use this instruction: “When GitHub creates a code-scanning alert, retrieve the VirusTotal file report for the affected file and summarize any risk.”
- 4Select the code-scanning alert trigger and choose a reporting channel.
- 5Test with one real alert.
Questions about this workflow
Does this replace GitHub code scanning?
No. It adds VirusTotal context to the alert so you can triage it faster.
Will Notis summarize the result?
Your instruction can ask Notis to summarize the report in the run notification.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Virustotal. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Virustotal actions

Add VirusTotal Comment
Tool to add a comment to a virustotal resource (file, url, domain, or ip address). use after analyzing a resource to leave contextual feedback. provide exactly one identifier per call.
Branch Changed

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.
Add Vote
Tool to add a vote (harmless/malicious) to a virustotal resource. use after reviewing analysis results to submit your verdict.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get Analysis Report
Tool to retrieve the analysis report of a file or url submission. use after obtaining an analysis id to fetch its detailed report.
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.
Get comments
Tool to retrieve the latest comments on a virustotal resource. use when you need to review user-generated comments for a file, url, domain, or ip after obtaining its identifier.
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.
Get Domain Relationships
Tool to retrieve relationship objects for a given domain. use when you have a domain and need to explore its related entities.

Get Domain Report
Tool to retrieve the analysis report of a domain. use when you need detailed insight on a domain's reputation and analysis stats.
New Repository Collaborator Added
