Most used workflows for Slack + Algolia
Search an Algolia index from a Slack DM
Message Notis in Slack and get live Algolia search results back without opening a dashboard.
Index Slack channel messages into Algolia
Turn useful Slack messages into searchable Algolia records automatically as they are posted.
Search multiple Algolia indices from Slack
Send one Slack DM and Notis searches several Algolia indices at once, then replies with combined results.
Delete Algolia records with a Slack reaction
React to a message with a chosen emoji and Notis removes the matching records from your Algolia index.
Find an Algolia object from Slack
DM Notis a query or filter and it returns the first matching Algolia object so you can debug relevance fast.
Check an Algolia object's ranking from Slack
Ask Notis in Slack where a record ranks for a query and it returns the object's position in the results.
Save Algolia synonyms from a Slack message
Post a synonym in a Slack channel and Notis saves it to your Algolia index so search stops missing near matches.
Scheduled Algolia index export to Slack
On a recurring schedule, Notis browses an entire Algolia index and posts a snapshot to Slack.
List your Algolia indices from Slack
DM Notis in Slack and it lists every Algolia index with its size and state, no dashboard required.
Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Slack to Algolia. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.

Four ways to start an automation.
A trigger is the event that kicks a workflow off. Notis supports four kinds: an event in a connected app, an inbound webhook, a recurring schedule, and soon, your own database.
Integration triggers
Fire when something happens inside a connected app. New Notion page, Stripe charge, Linear issue: any of 1,000+ apps can start a workflow.
Webhook triggers
A unique URL per workflow. Anything that can send an HTTP POST can start an automation, including no-code tools that speak webhooks.
Recurring triggers
Cron-style schedules run a workflow on the clock. Daily standups, hourly syncs, business-hours-only digests: the workhorse of Notis.
Database triggers
Watch a row, query, or threshold in your own database and fire the moment the data changes. Row inserted, value crosses a limit, query starts matching.
Classic automation breaks. AI adapts.
Same triggers and actions, smarter middle. AI handles the fuzziness that breaks traditional Zapier-style workflows the moment a field gets renamed.
Describe it. Notis builds it.
Skip the visual builder. Tell Notis what you want, in plain English. It writes the workflow, you review and deploy.
