Algolia

Algolia search index management

Algolia is the hosted search-as-a-service platform that powers instant search on millions of sites. Tiny Command exposes five actions (no triggers — Algolia doesn't emit index-change webhooks), all focused on the index management side: List Indices (every index in the connected app), Add Object (insert or replace one record), Delete Object (by objectID), Clear Index (truncate every record in the index — destructive, use with care), and Search (run a query against an index, with all standard Algolia search params: query string, facetFilters, numericFilters, hitsPerPage, page, attributesToRetrieve). The connection uses an Algolia Application ID + Admin API key (or write-scoped key) from the Algolia dashboard. Search workflows commonly pair a CRM/Notion/Airtable trigger ("new product added") with Add Object to keep the search index in sync as the source of truth changes. For bulk operations (importing 10k records), Algolia recommends batch endpoints (/batch); Add Object is per-record and rate-limited at the standard limit, so workflows that need to ingest thousands of records should call the batch endpoint via HTTP action.

Actions

Do anything Algolia can do, from a workflow.

Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's an AI output, a form field, or a search result.

Action	What it does	Inputs
Add Object to Index	Inserts or replaces a single object in the index (Algolia upserts on objectID — same ID overwrites). For bulk operations on hundreds-plus records, prefer the batch endpoint via HTTP action which is much cheaper against the rate limit.	3 fields	View →
Clear Index	Removes every record from the index while preserving index settings. Use carefully — destructive. Typical use case: "full rebuild from source-of-truth nightly" workflows where you clear then bulk-load.	1 fields	View →
Delete Object	Removes a single record by objectID. For deleting many records by criteria (e.g., "all records older than 30 days"), use the deleteBy endpoint via HTTP action which filters server-side.	2 fields	View →
List Indices	Returns every index in the connected Algolia application with record count, last update timestamp, and configured settings summary. Useful for index inventory and for resolving index names in workflow setup.	0 fields	View →
Search Index	Runs a query against an index with full search parameters — query string, facet filters, numeric filters, page size, attributesToRetrieve. The base read action for any "search-then-display" workflow that surfaces Algolia-indexed content downstream.	4 fields	View →

Before you build

Three things worth knowing.

Filter at the trigger

Tiny Command counts a run the moment a trigger fires. Filtering early means only matching events spend your usage budget.

Authorize once, reuse anywhere

Connect Algolia once and every workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. You don't have to re-auth per workflow.

No JSON to read

Every Algolia field shows up in the visual picker for downstream nodes. The raw payload is there for power users, optional for everyone else.

FAQ

Questions about the Algolia integration.

If we missed yours, ping support. We usually reply within an hour.

How do I connect Algolia to Tiny Command?

Open the Tiny Command workflow builder, drop in a Algolia node, and click Connect. Authorize Algolia once and any workflow on your account can use its triggers and actions. Most teams finish the connection in under two minutes.

What Algolia triggers does Tiny Command support?

Tiny Command focuses on outbound actions for Algolia today. Use Tiny Command's universal Webhook or Schedule trigger to start Algolia workflows, then run any Algolia action you need.

What Algolia actions can I run from a workflow?

5 Algolia actions are available out of the box, covering other operations like "Add Object to Index". Every action accepts dynamic inputs from upstream nodes, whether that's a search result, an AI output, or a form field.

Is the Algolia integration real-time?

Algolia actions execute synchronously inside your workflow. Tiny Command waits for Algolia's API to confirm before continuing to the next step, so downstream nodes can rely on the result.

Do I need to write code to use Algolia with Tiny Command?

No. Every Algolia trigger and action is fully configurable from the visual workflow builder. For edge cases that aren't covered, drop in a custom HTTP node and call any Algolia API endpoint directly.

How much does the Algolia integration cost?

There's a free tier you can start on without a credit card. Higher run volumes and team features come with paid plans. The Algolia integration itself has no per-app surcharge.
