Add product aliases while planning the work
When a task records a new product name or alias, turn that decision into a synonym for your Algolia index.
Trigger
New Task Created
Triggers when a new task is created in a project.
Action
Save Synonym
Tool to add or update a synonym in the specified index. use when you need programmatic upsert of search synonyms after index creation.
Why this helps
New names and aliases may be used in planning long before they are added to search configuration.
- Record aliases at the point they enter the team's workflow.
- Keep product search language consistent.
- Avoid a separate reminder to update synonyms.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Asana and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis from any channel.
- 3Specify how a task identifies the alias terms and name the Algolia index to update.
- 4Pick the Asana New Task Created trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real task that states an alias relationship.
