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.
Action
Search across subreddits
Searches reddit for content (e.g., posts, comments) using a query, with results typically confined to subreddits unless `restrict sr` is set to false.
Why this helps
A security alert can trigger anxious, unfocused searching before the work is even scoped.
- Collects external context in one run report
- Leaves time for verified remediation work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect GitHub and Reddit to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal.
- 3Ask Notis to search Reddit for reputable discussions about each new code scanning alert and summarize them privately.
- 4Choose New Code Scanning Alert Created and a reporting channel.
- 5Trigger it with a non-sensitive test alert and review the results.
Questions about this workflow
Will it expose secret details?
Tell Notis to keep the search private and never include sensitive alert content in posts.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Reddit. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
GitHub triggers
Reddit actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create a Reddit post
Creates a new text or link post on a specified, existing reddit subreddit, optionally applying a flair.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Delete Reddit comment
Deletes a reddit comment, identified by its fullname id, if it was authored by the authenticated user.
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.
Delete a Reddit post
Permanently deletes a reddit post by its id, provided the authenticated user has deletion permissions for that post.
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.
Edit comment or post
Edits the body text of the authenticated user's own existing comment or self-post on reddit; cannot edit link posts or titles.
New Branch Created
Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.
Get link flair
Fetches the list of available link flairs (i.e., post flairs, not user flairs) for a given subreddit.
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.
Post a comment
Posts a comment on reddit, replying to an existing and accessible submission (post) or another comment.
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.
Retrieve Comments for a Post
Retrieves all comments for a reddit post given its article id (which must be for an existing, public post); nested replies within comments are returned as raw dictionaries requiring parsing.
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.
Retrieve posts from subreddit
Retrieves the current hot posts from a specified, publicly accessible subreddit.
