Refresh a dataset from a GitHub Actions artifact

Let fresh build evidence update the dataset it informs, without a manual nudge.

Trigger

New Artifact Added to Workflow Run

Triggers when a new artifact is uploaded to a specific GitHub Actions workflow run. Monitors a single workflow run for newly added artifacts such as build outputs, test results, or coverage reports. Each new artifact detected fires a separate event.

Action

Force Update Dataset

Tool to trigger a rerun for a dataset. Use when you need to force a dataset to update immediately rather than waiting for its normal schedule.

Why this helps

Artifacts contain useful signals but are often separated from the data work they should update.

  • Uses fresh build evidence
  • Reduces handoffs
  • Keeps analysis timely

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect GitHub and Faraday once through Notis.
  • 2Create a new automation in the portal.
  • 3Tell Notis to refresh the selected dataset when the monitored workflow run uploads an artifact.
  • 4Select New Artifact Added to Workflow Run and choose a run-report channel.
  • 5Test with one artifact upload.

Questions about this workflow

Supported Triggers and Actions

Notis builds workflows that link GitHub to Faraday. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

GitHub triggers

Faraday actions

Recurring trigger

Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.

TriggerScheduled

Archive Cohort

Tool to archive a cohort in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a cohort while keeping it visible.

ActionInstant

Webhook trigger

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

TriggerInstant

Archive Connection

Tool to archive a connection in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a connection while keeping it visible.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Archive Dataset

Tool to archive a dataset in Faraday. Use when you need to archive a dataset and optionally its downstream resources. Archiving stops updates to the resource but keeps it visible.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Archive Outcome

Tool to archive an outcome in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to an outcome while keeping it visible.

ActionInstant

New Branch Created

Triggers when a new branch is created in a GitHub repository. Detects newly created branches. Deleted branches do not fire events.

TriggerPolling

Archive Persona Set

Tool to archive a persona set in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a persona set while keeping it visible.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

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.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Archive Scope

Tool to archive a scope in Faraday. Use when you need to stop updates to a scope while keeping it visible.

ActionInstant

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.

TriggerPolling

Archive Stream

Tool to archive a stream in Faraday. Use when you need to archive a stream and optionally its downstream resources. Archiving stops updates to the resource but keeps it visible.
