How do I delete a specific object from Algolia?

Short answer: You can delete object in Algolia by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Algolia Delete Object action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Delete Object.

What does the Delete Object action do in Algolia?

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.

What inputs does Delete Object require?

Required: Index Name, Object ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Algolia returns an error?

The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Algolia returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does Delete Object support batch operations?

Run Delete Object inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Algolia's rate limits.
