Check Release Assets Before They Spread
Every new binary or archive gets a reputation lookup before it becomes customer-facing.
Trigger
New GitHub Release Asset Added
Triggers when a new asset is added to a specific GitHub release. Monitors a single release (identified by release ID) for newly uploaded assets such as binaries, archives, or checksum files. One event is emitted per new asset, containing full asset metadata.
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
Release uploads often happen during a busy launch window when security checks are easiest to skip.
- Adds a security checkpoint to the release process.
- Reduces launch-day uncertainty.
- Creates a clear run report for each uploaded asset.
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 a new GitHub release asset is added, retrieve its VirusTotal file report and report any concerning detection.”
- 4Select the release-asset trigger and choose the channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one release asset.
