Keep candidate profiles current when resumes change
When an updated resume arrives, extract the latest details and replace the candidate's existing Algolia record.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Add or Replace Record
Creates a record in an index or replaces the existing record with the same ID.
Why this helps
Old candidate profiles can mislead hiring decisions when new experience never makes it into search.
- Replace stale candidate details in one step.
- Keep the existing record identity when a known objectID is supplied.
- Reduce duplicate candidate entries after an updated resume arrives.
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: parse the updated resume and replace the matching record in the chosen Algolia index using its supplied objectID.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one updated resume and verify the existing record was refreshed.
Questions about this workflow
Does this find the existing record automatically?
The replacement action needs a known objectID. Supply it with the webhook request or instruct Notis how to obtain it from available context.
What if the candidate has no existing record?
The action replaces a record by objectID or creates it if that objectID does not yet exist.
