SECOPS

Live Secret Exposure to PagerDuty Incident Escalation

Detects high-severity secrets (cloud root keys, payment tokens) in a push and escalates straight to PagerDuty as a critical incident, with a Linear evidence ticket linked.

What it does

This workflow distinguishes ordinary secret leaks from catastrophic ones. When a push contains a high-blast-radius credential such as an AWS root key or a Stripe live key, it pages on-call through PagerDuty rather than just filing a ticket, because those keys can drain accounts in minutes.

When to use it

Use it for repos that can touch production infrastructure or money movement. It is the escalation path for the secrets you cannot afford to let sit in a backlog overnight.

How it works

  1. 1A GitHub push event triggers the workflow.
  2. 2A logic step classifies any detected secret by blast radius using a severity ruleset.
  3. 3If severity is low or nothing is found, the run exits without paging.
  4. 4If severity is critical, an action triggers a PagerDuty incident with the repo, commit, and key type in the payload.
  5. 5A linked Linear ticket is opened as the evidence record so the page and the audit trail stay connected after the incident closes.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect GitHubRepos, issues, pull requests, actions.
  2. 2
    Connect PagerDutyIncidents, on-call, escalations.
  3. 3
    Connect LinearIssues, projects, cycles, triage.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
