Why this helps
A small change to tags, categories, or visibility can become a tedious record-by-record maintenance task.
- Change selected fields while preserving other record attributes.
- Apply a consistent update across a defined set of records.
- Reduce repetitive maintenance for shared metadata.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agility CMS and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and define the content set, matching objectIDs, and attributes to refresh.
- 3Ask Notis to update only the specified attributes using current CMS values.
- 4Choose a recurring schedule and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real record and verify the specified fields changed as intended.
Questions about this workflow
What must be available for safe matching?
A reliable mapping between the CMS content IDs and Algolia objectIDs, plus the current values for the fields to update.
Will it replace the whole record?
No. The partial-update action changes selected attributes while leaving other record fields intact.
