What Algolia indices exist in this application?
Short answer: Drop the "Algolia → List Indices" action anywhere in your workflow, map the inputs from upstream nodes, and publish.
Sample request
{}
Returns
{"items": [{"name": "products","entries": 5000,"dataSize": 1048576,"updatedAt": "2026-04-12T00:00:00Z"},{"name": "users","entries": 1000,"dataSize": 204800}]}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about List Indices.
What does the List Indices action do in Algolia?
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.
What inputs does List Indices require?
List Indices has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
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 List Indices support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Indices inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Algolia's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
More actions
Other Algolia actions.
Action
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.
ActionClear 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.
ActionDelete 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.
ActionSearch 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.
