Turn a relevance complaint into a concrete position check.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Get Object Position
Tool to retrieve an object’s position in a result set. use when debugging relevance after performing a search query.
Why this helps
Search ranking investigations slow down when query context and object IDs must be re-entered manually.
- Quantify reported relevance issues
- Preserve query context
- Speed up debugging handoffs
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Algolia in Notis once.
- 2Create an automation that reads the index, query, and object ID from each relevance email and retrieves the object's position.
- 3Pick New Outlook Message as the trigger.
- 4Choose where reports go and test with one real complaint.
Questions about this workflow
What if the query is missing?
The automation should report the missing query because position depends on the search context.
Does it change ranking?
No. It only retrieves the current position.
