Refresh an Actor build for document research
Give planned Actor updates a predictable place in the schedule and review the resulting build details.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Build Actor
Build an Actor by compiling its source into a Docker image.
Why this helps
Actor configuration refreshes can slip when they depend on someone remembering to start a build.
- Make planned build work visible in a recurring process.
- Create a build for the specified Actor configuration.
- Keep build follow-up connected to document workflow review.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Apify once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review the supplied document workflow context with Affinda and build the specified Apify Actor using the approved configuration.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a non-production Actor or approved configuration and inspect the build result.
Questions about this workflow
Does Affinda provide the Actor source code?
No. The source code or build configuration must already be available and specified for the Actor.
Should every scheduled run create a build?
Only schedule this when a build is genuinely needed. A schedule that creates unnecessary builds can waste resources.
