Keep a weekly recovery point for Hex findings
Protect the searchable knowledge built from Hex by creating a regular Pinecone backup on a schedule you choose.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
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.
Why this helps
A useful shared index can become a single point of failure when no one owns remembering to preserve it.
- Create a predictable recovery point.
- Remove a recurring manual reminder from your plate.
- Protect accumulated analytical context.
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.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction asking Notis to create a backup of the Pinecone index containing Hex research each week.
- 4Pick a weekly cron trigger and choose where run reports should appear.
- 5Run it once against the real index and confirm the backup appears.
Questions about this workflow
Does this back up Hex notebooks directly?
No. The Pinecone action creates a backup of a Pinecone index, so it protects the indexed Hex knowledge stored there.
Can I choose how often it runs?
Yes. Choose a weekly schedule that fits your maintenance routine when creating the Notis cron automation.
