Make an Algolia search issue easier to hand off
Send Notis the issue context and intended recipients, then get a clear email sent through Gmail.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Send Email
Sends an email via gmail api using the authenticated user's google profile display name, requiring `is html=true` if the body contains html and valid `s3key`, `mimetype`, `name` for any attachment.
Why this helps
Search issues can stall when someone has to translate technical context into a useful handoff.
- Turn search context into a readable handoff.
- Include only details supplied or returned by Algolia.
- Reduce the effort needed to notify the right people.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia and Gmail once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation named Algolia Search Issue Handoff.
- 3Tell Notis to summarize the supplied Algolia search issue context and email the explicitly provided recipients with relevant details and requested next steps.
- 4Choose a webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real example and a recipient address you control.
Questions about this workflow
Will this infer who should receive the email?
No. Supply the recipient addresses in the webhook request or automation instruction.
Can it make claims about an issue that Algolia data does not show?
No. The email should distinguish provided context from information returned by Algolia and avoid unsupported claims.
