Why this helps
Preferences copied by hand can become inconsistent and harder to reference during audience work.
- Upserts preference records using a stable objectID.
- Makes submitted preferences searchable for internal workflows.
- Avoids manual duplicate record creation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AimTell and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to upsert preference fields supplied in each request, using the stable subscriber ID as objectID.
- 4Pick the webhook trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Send one real preference update to test the automation.
Questions about this workflow
Can Notis infer preferences that are not in the request?
No. Include the preference fields intended for the Algolia record in the webhook payload.
Why use an upsert?
It replaces the record with the same objectID or creates it if no record exists.
