Refresh Algolia records after Confluence updates
Your search results should reflect the latest documentation version.
Trigger
Page Updated
Triggers when a Confluence page is updated (any edit that creates a new version).
Action
Partial Update Objects
Tool to partially update multiple records in the specified index. use when you need to change only selected fields of many objects without replacing entire records. use after confirming objectids and desired updates.
Why this helps
Outdated indexed pages cause people to follow instructions that no longer work.
- Reduce stale search results
- Preserve unchanged record fields
- Keep help content aligned with source pages
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Confluence and Algolia in Notis.
- 2Create an automation that updates the existing Algolia record for each changed page.
- 3Pick the Page Updated trigger.
- 4Select a report channel and test with one edited page.
Questions about this workflow
Does this replace the entire record?
No. The workflow uses a partial update so unchanged fields can remain intact.
How does Notis find the existing record?
Tell Notis which page identifier or lookup rule your index uses.
