Immediately escalate exposed secrets to your team
Exposed secrets are security emergencies that need immediate action. Notis automatically creates an urgent Linear issue the moment GitHub detects a secret so your team sees it in their task system without delay.
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 linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Secret scanning alerts are critical but can be buried in GitHub settings or notification noise. When sensitive data exposure doesn't surface urgently in Linear, teams miss critical time to revoke access and prevent damage.
- Exposed secrets surface immediately in Linear
- Team responds faster to security incidents
- Centralized incident tracking and coordination
- Reduces time from detection to remediation
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Linear to Notis.
- 2Create the automation: 'When a secret scanning alert is detected, create an urgent Linear issue with the secret type and location.'
- 3Choose an emergency notification channel.
- 4Select the trigger: New Secret Scanning Alert Detected.
- 5Test by creating a test repository with exposed secrets and verify the urgent Linear issue appears.
Questions about this workflow
Can I automatically revoke tokens when secrets are detected?
Notis creates the Linear issue for tracking. Token revocation requires additional actions beyond Linear but Notis can add detailed instructions to the issue for your team to follow.
What if I have many false positives in secret scanning?
Your automation prompt can be customized to filter by secret type or only trigger for active/valid secrets to reduce noise.
Should I notify on inactive secrets or only active ones?
Notis can include validity status in the Linear issue. You can configure your prompt to prioritize active secrets higher than inactive ones.
Can I assign these to a security team automatically?
Yes. Notis can assign to specific security contacts or teams based on your organization structure.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Linear. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Linear 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.
Create linear attachment
Creates a new attachment and associates it with a specific, existing linear issue.
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.
Create a comment
Creates a new comment on a specified linear issue.
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 linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
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 create issue default params
Fetches a linear team's default issue estimate and state, useful for pre-filling new issue forms.
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 a label
Creates a new label in linear for a specified team, used to categorize and organize issues.
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.
Delete issue
Archives an existing linear issue by its id, which is linear's standard way of deleting issues; the operation is idempotent.
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.
Get all teams
Retrieves all teams from the linear workspace without requiring any parameters.
Commit Event
Triggered when a new commit is pushed to a repository.
Download issue attachments
Downloads a specific attachment from a linear issue; the `file name` must include the correct file extension.
