Clean up orphaned Faraday traits weekly
Give recurring data hygiene a dependable time slot instead of relying on a future-you reminder.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Delete All Orphaned Traits
Tool to delete all orphaned traits from Faraday. Use when you need to clean up traits that are not associated with any source dataset.
Why this helps
Small cleanup tasks accumulate until the data model becomes harder to navigate.
- Prevents maintenance buildup
- Reduces clutter
- Creates a reliable routine
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Faraday to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation from Automations.
- 3Write a prompt asking Notis to delete orphaned Faraday traits as weekly data hygiene.
- 4Choose a recurring weekly trigger and the channel for run reports.
- 5Create it and review the first scheduled run.

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.
Archive Place
Tool to archive a place in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a geospatial area or address set while keeping it visible.
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.
Archive Scope
Tool to archive a scope in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a scope while keeping it visible.
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.
