Keep search results aligned with the rows your source query still returns.
Trigger

Why this helps
Records remain searchable after they disappear from the source query.

- Keeps source and index aligned
- Reduces manual cleanup
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Super and Algolia in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation named Query removal cleanup.
- 3Tell Notis to delete the Algolia objects whose IDs are reported as removed by the table query result.
- 4Pick the Table Query Result Changed trigger and a report channel.
- 5Test with one safely removable record.
Questions about this workflow
What if the trigger does not include object IDs?
The source or instruction must provide a reliable ID mapping before deletion can occur.
Can it delete many records?
Yes, use the multiple-record deletion action with the returned IDs.
