Load large Hex research archives with less manual work
Connect your archive-ready signal to Pinecone so a large collection can start loading without someone manually kicking off the job.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Start Bulk Import
Tool to start an asynchronous bulk import of vectors from object storage (S3, GCS, or Azure Blob Storage) into a Pinecone index. Use when you need to import large volumes of vectors from external storage. Returns an import ID to track the operation status.
Why this helps
Large knowledge transfers often turn into a separate operational task that gets postponed or forgotten.
- Start large imports from a ready signal.
- Reduce manual launch steps for archives.
- Keep ingestion connected to the research publishing flow.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Hex and Pinecone to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction which Pinecone index and object storage archive to import when the export service calls the webhook.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real archive export and save the returned import ID for tracking.
Questions about this workflow
Where must the archive live?
The action starts a bulk import from supported object storage such as S3, GCS, or Azure Blob Storage.
Does this wait until import completion?
No. Starting the import returns an import ID; use a separate status-check workflow to monitor progress.

Pinecone actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Cancel Bulk Import
Tool to cancel a bulk import operation in Pinecone. Use when you need to stop an ongoing import operation that is not yet finished.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Configure Index
Tool to configure an existing Pinecone index, including pod type, replicas, deletion protection, and tags. Use when you need to scale an index vertically or horizontally, enable/disable deletion protection, or update tags. The change is asynchronous; check index status for completion.
Create Backup
Tool to create a backup of a Pinecone index for disaster recovery and version control. Use when you need to preserve the current state of an index including vectors, metadata, and configuration.
Create Index
Tool to create a Pinecone index with specified configuration. Use when you need to initialize a new vector database index for storing and querying embeddings.
Create Index with Embedding Model
Tool to create a Pinecone index with integrated embedding model for automatic vectorization. Use when you need to set up a new index that automatically converts text to vectors using a pre-configured embedding model.
Create Index from Backup
Tool to create an index from a backup. Use when you need to restore or duplicate index data from a previously saved backup.
Create Namespace
Tool to create a namespace within a serverless Pinecone index. Use when you need to organize vectors into isolated partitions.
Delete Index
Tool to permanently delete a Pinecone index. Use when you need to remove an index from your project. Note: Deletion protection and pending collections can prevent deletion.
