Turn a feed specification into an Algolia ingestion source
Extract the details from a feed specification and create the source resource needed for an ingestion workflow.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Source
Creates a data source for ingestion from an external platform or feed.
Why this helps
Setting up ingestion can get delayed when feed details are trapped in a document and have to be re-entered manually.
- Use document-extracted feed details to inform source setup.
- Reduce manual transfer from specification documents.
- Start Algolia ingestion configuration from a clear input document.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Affinda and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation.
- 3Describe the outcome: extract the required source configuration details from the supplied specification and create the Algolia Ingestion API source.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one specification and review the created source details.
Questions about this workflow
Does the document contain every required source setting?
The source creation action requires valid configuration. Supply any required values that Affinda cannot reliably extract.
Is this the same as creating a full ingestion task?
No. This action creates a source resource; a separate ingestion task connects source and destination.
