Give exposed-secret alerts an immediate home
A new secret scanning alert becomes a focused Dropbox record with the details needed to respond quickly.
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 paper document
Creates a new dropbox paper document at the specified path using html or markdown content.
Why this helps
Secret alerts demand urgency but often arrive when attention is already split.
- Creates an immediate response record
- Preserves secret type and validity context
- Reduces the chance of silent security drift
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Dropbox to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Ask Notis to create a clearly named Dropbox security incident note for each new secret scanning alert.
- 3Choose the New Secret Scanning Alert Detected trigger and select a reporting channel.
- 4Use one test alert or safe sample and confirm the note is created.
Questions about this workflow
Does this expose the secret value?
The instruction should tell Notis to record alert metadata only and never copy the secret itself.
Can active secrets be prioritized?
Yes. Include a condition for active or unknown validity status in the trigger instruction.

Delete file or folder
Permanently deletes the file or folder at the specified path in dropbox. use when you need to remove a specific file or folder. requires the `files.content.write` scope.

Get about me
Tool to get information about the current user's dropbox account. use when you need to retrieve account details like email, name, or account type.
Check Run Status / Conclusion Changed

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.
List folder contents
Retrieves a list of folders, files, and deleted entries from a specified dropbox path.
