Remove one obsolete search rule after a policy change
Make targeted search policy cleanup part of the same verified change process.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Delete Rule
Tool to delete the specified rule from an index. use when you need to permanently remove a rule after confirming its objectid.
Why this helps
One outdated rule can distort results long after a policy update if nobody removes it.
- Makes a narrow change instead of clearing all rules
- Requires an exact rule object ID
- Keeps policy maintenance tied to source context
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 44API and Algolia in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis to delete the supplied rule object from the named index after confirming it is obsolete.
- 3Choose a notis_webhook trigger.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one policy-update payload.
