Catch a missing critical index before it surprises you
Notis checks the index names you specify on a schedule and sends a report if one is missing.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Index Exists
Checks whether an index exists.
Why this helps
A renamed or missing index can disrupt downstream search work, but manual checks are easy to forget.
- Check critical index names regularly.
- Surface missing indexes as a follow-up item.
- Avoid making changes during a simple existence check.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation under Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis which index names to check and to report any that do not exist.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and report channel, then test with one real index name.
Questions about this workflow
Will this create a missing index?
No. It checks existence and reports the result so you can decide what to do.
What should I include in the instruction?
Specify the exact existing index names you want Notis to check.
