HQ Algolia Intergration & Umbraco Cloud

Howdy gang :waving_hand:
Has anyone used the HQ Algolia Integration with Umbraco Cloud?

Question

Does anyone know if it supports working with Deploy at all, as I currently have to jump into each environment and re-choose the doctypes and its properties I want to index.

Am I missing something a step or configuration that I am not aware of?

I’ve been using this, and haven’t found a way to work with Deploy or export the settings in any way.

However, I did discover that Algolia simply overrides an index if you push one with the same name, so once your live is setup, you can replace the index without much trouble

We are using the package. I don’t think it works with deploy. But the algolia index setting that you set in the Umbraco backoffice are stored in a custom database table, but it’s just two columns - a name and a json string.

We will manually sync the json text values cross environments using a sql update (select from dev, update live). It works but it is an all or nothing so we also do things manually sometimes (you can choose to do just one doc type).

Algolia also has an export import feature for any setting that you make in algolia, so we also use that when we sync things between environments when needed.
