Keep repository security checks on your Knack review rhythm
Let a recurring review catch a security setting before it becomes a surprise.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Check private vulnerability reporting status
Checks if private vulnerability reporting is enabled for the specified repository.
Why this helps
Security housekeeping is easy to postpone when it is separated from the operational review routine.
- Adds a lightweight recurring security check.
- Surfaces configuration gaps earlier.
- Reduces reliance on memory.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Knack and GitHub to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create the automation in the portal or ask Notis to set up the review.
- 3Use this instruction: Check private vulnerability reporting status for every GitHub repository listed for review in Knack and report any gaps.
- 4Choose a recurring trigger, select a channel for reports, and test with one repository.
Questions about this workflow
Does this change repository settings?

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Knack to GitHub. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Knack triggers
GitHub actions
Accept a repository invitation
Accepts a pending repository invitation that has been issued to the authenticated user.
List repositories starred by the authenticated user
Deprecated: lists repositories starred by the authenticated user, including star creation timestamps; use 'list repositories starred by the authenticated user' instead.
List stargazers
Deprecated: lists users who have starred a repository; use `list stargazers` instead.
Star a repository for the authenticated user
Deprecated: stars a repository for the authenticated user; use `star a repository for the authenticated user` instead.
Add email for auth user
Adds one or more email addresses (which will be initially unverified) to the authenticated user's github account; use this to associate new emails, noting an email verified for another account will error, while an existing email for the current user is accepted.
Add app access restrictions
Replaces github app access restrictions for an existing protected branch; requires a json array of app slugs in the request body, where apps must be installed and have 'contents' write permissions.
Add a repository collaborator
Adds a github user as a repository collaborator, or updates their permission if already a collaborator; `permission` applies to organization-owned repositories (personal ones default to 'push' and ignore this field), and an invitation may be created or permissions updated directly.
Add a repository to an app installation
Adds a repository to a github app installation, granting the app access; requires authenticated user to have admin rights for the repository and access to the installation.

Not just Knack and GitHub. Any combination from 1,000+ integrations.
