Action
Index Exists
Tool to check if an algolia index exists. use before performing index operations to prevent accidental index creation. example: indexexists(index name='products').
Why this helps
Starting with the wrong index name creates avoidable errors and forces you to retrace your steps.
- Catch an incorrect index name before dependent work begins.
- Reduce avoidable failed searches and operations.
- Make a simple preflight check part of the discussion.

- 4Select New Message Received as the trigger and choose a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one existing and one intentionally unknown index name.
