Action

Index Exists

Tool to check if an algolia index exists. use before performing index operations to prevent accidental index creation. example: indexexists(index name='products').

Why this helps

A typo or outdated index name can send follow-up work in the wrong direction.

  • Catch invalid or mistyped index names early.
  • Verify the specific index named in the message.
  • Give dependent work a simple existence check.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Agent mail and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation and describe how to check an index name found in email.
  • 3Pick the Agent mail New Email Received trigger.
  • 4Choose where Notis should send run reports.
  • 5Test with one real email naming an existing index.

Questions about this workflow

Will this create a missing index?

No. It checks whether the named index exists.

How should unclear names be handled?

Tell Notis to report the ambiguity without checking an assumed index.
