Trigger

Action
Search Rules
Tool to search for rules in the specified index. use when you need to retrieve rules matching a query, filtering by anchoring, context, pagination, or enabled status.
Why this helps
Rules can be difficult to review from memory when a question arises in the middle of project discussion.
- Investigate a rule question where it appears.
- Search using the query or filters supplied in context.
- Review matching rules from the run report.

- 3Name the index and describe the query or filters to use from the comment.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Asana to Algolia. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Asana triggers
Algolia actions
Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Add AB Test
Tool to create an ab test comparing search performance between two variants. use to test different index configurations or search parameters and measure impact on click-through and conversion rates.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Browse Algolia Index
Tool to retrieve all records from an index. use when you need to export or iterate through an entire index dataset.
Attachment Added to Task
Triggers when an attachment is added to a task.
Clear Objects
Tool to clear records of an index without affecting settings. use when you need to completely wipe all objects (e.g., after a bulk reindex) while preserving index configuration.
New Comment on Task
Triggers when a comment is added to a task in a project.
Clear Rules
Tool to delete all rules in an index. use when you need to wipe all rules before re-creating them. use after confirming no critical rules require retention.
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Clicked Object IDs
Tool to send a click event to algolia to capture clicked items. use immediately after a user click outside of search contexts to report click events.
Task Moved to Section

Clicked Object IDs After Search
Tool to send a click event after a search response. use when you want to report which items a user clicked in search results.
Tag Added to Task
Triggers when a tag is added to a task. Note: Asana's event structure is inverted for tag events — the resource is the task and the parent is the tag. So parent.gid gives the tag GID.
Converted Object IDs
Tool to send a conversion event for items outside of search context. use when tracking conversions on category pages or external flows unrelated to algolia search.
Task Updated
Triggers when a task is updated in a project.
Copy Index
Tool to copy the specified index to a new index. use when you need to duplicate an existing index including records, settings, synonyms, and rules after confirming source and destination names.
