Current behavior

I’m trying the “Content changed” rule to populate the Algolia index but I’m facing some issues. The rule is like:

And the configuration of “Populate Algolia index”:

When the rule is run, this error is thrown:

Expected behavior

The rule is executed without errors and the content is created in Algolia.

Minimal reproduction of the problem

• Having an Algolia instance up and running.
• Having a “Content changed” rule configured with the action “Populate Algolia index”.
• Configure the Application Id, API key and index name in this action.

Also, I’m not sure whether an explicit JSON transformation is needed in the “Document” configuration section in the “Populate Algolia index” action, something like:

JSON.stringify(
    {
        "id": "$event.data.id.iv"
    }
);

I have pushed a potential fix, but I havent had the chance to test or deploy it yet and will not have it today.

Many thanks @Sebastian for this quick fix! Don’t worry too much about the timing, if it can be deployed the next week, it would be great

[Sebastian]

I have tested it and it works.

[Miguel_Angel_Garcia]

Thanks for the update @Sebastian, so is the solution already deployed?

[Sebastian]

Not yet, I will keep you updated.

Hello Sebastian,

I get this error in the self-hosted version. Can you please inform if the fix is available in latest version?

Thank you

[Sebastian]

It is fixed in my master branch. From the timestamp I think it should be fixed in the latest release as well.
