Notis

Integrate External Systems Into Your Search

External systems send issue data to Notis, and it instantly searches Algolia for context. One unified search, all systems connected.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Search Algolia Index

Tool to perform a search on a specified algolia index. use after confirming the index name. example: searchindex(index name='contacts', query='apple', search params={'hitsperpage':10})

Why this helps

Neurodivergent founders juggle multiple external tools, each with separate search. This context-switching and fragmented knowledge is cognitively draining.

  • Search Algolia when external systems send data
  • Integrate multiple tools into unified search
  • Reduce context-switching between systems

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Algolia to Notis
  • 2Get your Notis webhook URL and configure your external tool to send issue data
  • 3Tell Notis: 'When you receive issue data via webhook, search Algolia for matching records'
  • 4Choose your notification channel
  • 5Test by sending sample data and verifying Algolia search

Questions about this workflow

What data formats does the webhook accept?

JSON with basic fields like title, description, and tags. Notis parses and maps to Algolia search terms automatically.

Can I route webhook data to different indices?

Yes. You can configure Notis to route data based on topic, source, or tags to different Algolia indices.
