Clear an Algolia index after a confirmed reindex decision
Make approved index resets deliberate, scheduled, and easy to audit.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Clear Objects
Tool to clear records of an index without affecting settings. use when you need to completely wipe all objects (e.g., after a bulk reindex) while preserving index configuration.
Why this helps
Stale records remain searchable because index resets depend on someone remembering a manual cleanup step.
- Adds a predictable maintenance window
- Requires explicit confirmation in the supplied instruction
- Preserves Algolia index settings while clearing records
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect 44API and Algolia in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation telling Notis to clear the named Algolia index only when the supplied review confirms a reindex is approved.
- 3Choose a notis_cron schedule.
- 4Choose a report channel and test with one approved example.
