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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.

Does Delete Object support batch operations?

Yes. Run Delete Object inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Algolia's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
