Why this helps

- Bring noteworthy search findings into the team's existing workflow.
- Include supporting performance evidence and a clear suggested follow-up.
- Run a targeted review when a search concern comes up.

- 1Connect Algolia and Slack once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
- 3Tell Notis to review Algolia search performance for a supplied index or query, summarize only noteworthy issues with supporting evidence, and post the findings to Slack.
- 4Choose the webhook trigger and select where Notis should send run reports.
- 5Test with one real Algolia search review and check the Slack result.
Questions about this workflow
What starts this workflow?
An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts the review. Include the index or search context to examine in the request or automation instruction.
Does this workflow change Algolia records?
No. It reviews search performance and posts a summary to Slack; it does not modify the index.
Can it flag a specific performance threshold?
Yes, if you provide the threshold or comparison baseline in the automation instruction or request. Notis should not assume a threshold that Algolia does not provide.
