Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Partial Update Objects

Why this helps
Small metadata corrections become tedious when they need to be repeated across many records.
- Change selected fields while retaining other record data.
- Handle a confirmed batch of document records in one workflow.
- Cut repetitive metadata edits.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect ActiveMerge and Algolia once in Notis.

- 3Pick the Notis webhook trigger and send a request with the confirmed object IDs and desired changes.
- 4Choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with a small batch and inspect the updated records.
Questions about this workflow
Does this discover which records need changes?
No. The request must supply the object IDs and desired updates.
Does it replace the entire record?
No. Partial Update Objects changes selected fields, leaving other record data intact.
