Stop an outdated Hex archive from finishing its import

Action

Why this helps
An invalid or superseded archive can keep consuming attention and create confusion if its import carries on unnoticed.

- Reduce risk of indexing superseded research.
- Avoid waiting for someone to notice and cancel manually.
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 active Pinecone import to cancel when your archive process sends a withdrawal webhook.
- 4Choose the incoming webhook trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test using a real cancellable import and confirm the cancellation result.
