Monitor GitHub Branch Protection in Salesforce
Branch protection settings change? Salesforce creates a task for review immediately.
Trigger
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.
Action
Create task
Creates a new task in salesforce to track activities, to-dos, and follow-ups related to contacts, leads, or other records.
Why this helps
A team member loosens branch protection to merge a hotfix. The change goes unnoticed. Weeks later, someone pushes directly to main without review. Security gaps accumulate silently until a critical mistake happens.
- Every branch protection change is logged as a task
- Security team can review and approve protection changes
- Prevents unauthorized weakening of merge policies
- Maintains audit trail of security settings
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Salesforce to Notis.
- 2Create an automation called 'Branch Protection Changes'.
- 3Set the prompt to: 'When branch protection settings change on the main branch, create a task in Salesforce for the security team with details of what changed (e.g., required reviews, admin enforcement). Mark it for immediate review.'
- 4Select 'GitHub: Branch Changed' as the trigger.
- 5Test by temporarily disabling a branch protection rule.
Questions about this workflow
Should I track changes on all branches or just main?
Notis can filter to main branch only, or to whichever branches matter most for security. Tell it your preference.
How do I know what changed?
Notis will include the specific settings that changed (e.g., 'required reviews reduced from 2 to 1') in the task description.
