Spot check important Algolia searches on a schedule
Keep an eye on key queries with a recurring search report that surfaces what Algolia returns today.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Search Algolia Index
Tool to perform a search on a specified algolia index. use after confirming the index name. example: searchindex(index name='contacts', query='apple', search params={'hitsperpage':10})
Why this helps
Important searches can drift, but remembering to rerun the same queries and inspect their results is easy to postpone.
- Review important queries in a predictable cadence.
- Notice result changes sooner by comparing reports over time.
- Reduce repetitive manual searches during search quality reviews.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Ably and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis in plain language from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, name the index and the sample queries to run, then ask Notis to summarize the results.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real query and confirm the reported results match the Algolia response.
Questions about this workflow
Does this automatically detect a relevance regression?
It can report current results, but it needs a baseline or expected outcomes from you to determine whether results have changed or regressed.
Where do the queries come from?
Include the queries in your instruction. Algolia does not provide a source trigger for this workflow.
Can it change ranking settings when results look wrong?
No. This spot check uses Search Algolia Index and reports results for review; changing settings would require a separate, deliberate workflow.
