Make time for Algolia index maintenance
Send a maintenance request and give search quality work a place on the calendar.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Event
Creates an event on a google calendar, needing rfc3339 utc start/end times (end after start) and write access to the calendar. by default, adds the organizer as an attendee unless exclude organizer is set to true.
Why this helps
Index cleanup and tuning can stay on the backlog when there is no protected time to do it.
- Creates a dedicated work block from a maintenance request.
- Keeps index upkeep visible alongside other commitments.
- Reduces the effort of switching from a search task request to calendar planning.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Algolia and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a clear name.
- 3Tell Notis to turn each incoming index maintenance request into a focused calendar work block.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real maintenance request and confirm the calendar event.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Algolia does not expose a trigger event in this package.
Does Notis decide when the work happens?
The request should include enough timing context for Notis to schedule the block. If it does not, provide timing in the instruction or request.
