Turn Jira synonym requests into Algolia synonyms
Keep approved search language changes moving from Jira into Algolia without a manual handoff.
Trigger
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
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
Search terminology requests can sit in Jira while users keep getting poor results for known alternate terms.
- Apply explicit synonym requests promptly.
- Keep search language changes tied to their Jira issue.
- Reduce manual copying between project tracking and search configuration.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Jira and Algolia once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and give it a clear name.
- 3In one instruction, tell Notis to save or update an Algolia synonym only when a new Jira issue clearly specifies the synonym and target index.
- 4Pick Jira New Issue as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real synonym request issue.
Questions about this workflow
Will every new Jira issue create a synonym?
No. Instruct Notis to act only when the issue clearly requests a synonym and identifies the target index and terms.
What if the issue does not say which index to use?
Have Notis report that the index is missing and leave Algolia unchanged.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Jira to Algolia. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Jira 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.
New Issue
Fires when a new issue is created in the Jira project you configure. Only issues created in that project produce an event.
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 Project
Triggered when a new project is added in Jira
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.
Updated Issue
Fires when an existing issue is changed in the Jira project you configure — for example its status, assignee, or any other field on the issue is updated. Only issues in that project produce an event. It does not fire on comment activity: adding, editing, or deleting a comment on an issue will not produce an event from this trigger.
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.
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.
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.
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.
