I actually ended up building a solution that works as expected.
Backend workflow on a database trigger, when a new item is added I use the the âAdd Objectâ action.

Iâm having some issues with filtering data, I was following your docs here (https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/algolia-search-v2.0-plugin-for-bubble#e516e189d6604667a2b6f23d3a6976c2).
When the âfiltersâ is left blank search is working as expected (see products listed):
But when I hardcode a filter in to test nothing shows up: see the Manufacturer filter, search results and Algolia set upâŚ
Filter:
Results:
Algolia data:
Algolia Attributes for faceting:
Hello @andrewmccalister,
Could you please try to remove the space in the âfiltersâ field and give it another try? For example:
In your case, it should be âManufacturerâ: âMemo Furnitureâ
Hope it helps!

Hi @ZeroqodeSupport, thanks for the advice, your formatting works, but I think it was actually an Algolia set up issue,
Iâve run into a few other issues with the filters, if you could help:
Doing one filter whether it is numeric or text works great, however, when I try and combine them, it fails (the search returns the incorrect or no results). Is my formatting incorrect?:
Also, when I try and search by Array it doesnât work at all. E.g I want to send an array to Algolia for it to cross compare again the item in my index. Can you advise on how to format it ( I had a look at your docs but it didnât specify the format required). Some that Iâve tried:
Hello, @andrewmccalister
Thanks for all these details.
In order to provide you with a more precise answer, we need to consult with our Development Team.
It seems like the issue is related to the way you filtering the data.
We will revert with an update as soon as will discuss with our team.

Hi @ZeroqodeSupport , thanks.
FYI - I solved the tag issue by setting it up as follows:
However, I still have issues when I try and combine multiple filters in the filter box, like so:
, which sets up as so:
For anyone interested, I had to go far deeper to get a more complex filter to workâŚ
There were actually three things causing issues:
- You canât send a filter with an empty parameter (i.e Manufacturer: ââ)
- For Attributes with a space (â ') in the name, you need to put the attribute name in ââ. e.g an Attribute named List Price needs to be added to the Filter as âList Priceâ.
- You canât have Boolean operators (AND) not attached to an Attribute. âManufacturerâ: âMfr_1â AND âList Priceâ < 5000 will work but âManufacturerâ: âMfr_1â AND will not work.
This all means that having dynamic filtering takes more thought.
I set it up such that an Attribute is only included in the Filter if a user has chosen to filter the RG by that Attribute (meaning it exists in a custom state and has a value) - via :format as text for a list or :find & replace for a single item. I combined that with conditionals so there was never an âANDâ without an associated Attribute.

Hello, @andrewmccalister
Thanks a lot for this useful information.
From our side, we are also checking if that possible to combine the multiple filters on the pluginâs side.
Once we will find any solution, we will let you know.

Hey all,
By this message, we would like to notify you that we have updated the plugin and added new action â Save Objectsâ.
Please update the plugin to Version: 3.31.0. and try it.
I hope youâll find it useful for you.
Best regards,

Iâm trying to figure out, if itâs possible to restrict access to data using this plugin?
I understand that for many use cases, this is irrelevant, but I do think that this would result in added value to your plugin.
Iâd certainly would be interested in taking advantage of this 
Reference to Algolia documentation: User-restricted access to data | Algolia
Hi @bryanrcosta,
Hope this message finds you well.
Weâve checked with the dev team regarding your request, and yes, the Algolia Search V2.0 Plugin allows restricting access to data.
Here is an example of an Object:
Use the action Set Algolia Settings where you can change the Attributes for Faceting field:
Attributes for Faceting - The complete list of attributes that will be used for faceting. Use this setting for 2 reasons: to turn an attribute into a facet to make any string attribute filterable. By default, your index comes with no categories. By designating an attribute as a facet, enables Algolia to compute a set of possible values that can later be used to filter results or display these categories. You can also get a count of records that match those values.
In the Algolia dashboard you can check if the action was applied:
Hope the above will be useful for you and your use case.
If you require any further information, let us know.
Best regards,
Zeroqode Support Team.
Hi @ZeroqodeSupport ,
I am getting a JS exception when the result of the algolia search includes a ânullâ field. How can I prevent this?
Another question:
How can I access data in an array of my result? Like in this structure:
item = { name: "asdf", attributes: [ { id: 234, name: "asdf" }, { id: 235, name: "asdfaaa" } ] }
If I request the field attributes.name I can see that the data is fetched correctly. But I can not access the data then with itemX etc. It is always empty.
Unsubscribing for now. Waiting for an answer.
@ZeroqodeSupport
Hello, @stefan.pointecker
Thanks for your time.
In order to replicate it on our side, we need to know which pluginâs version you are using in your app.
Please provide this information to us 
Unfortunately, you canât access data in an array.
We are looking to hearing from you soon.
Best regards,
Zerooqde Support Team
It was version 3.34.0
Okay, then I need to rethink my approach 
Okay, I just tried to access data in an object like:
hitObject = {
name :âasdfâ
object: {
attribute: âaxxxxâ
}
}
Accessing hitObject.object.attribute is also not working?
From your docs at https://docs.zeroqode.com/plugins/algolia-search-v2.0-plugin-for-bubble
- Fields to retrieve - Write here the name of the fields you want to get from Algolia. The name of the fields must correspond to the name of the fields in Algolia. An important field. Letâs say we have an object structure like this in the Algolia index [image here] and we want to retrieve fields ânameâ and âemailâ, the input value should look like this [image here]. (text)
Images are missing in docs but I think it should be my use case.
Hello, @stefan.pointecker
Thanks for these details
As for this issue, please allow us to note that we were able to reproduce this bug on our side. Our development team is already working on fixing it. We will let you know once it would be ready.
Let us check with the team too. This will help us to avoid misleading on that point.

Do you have an estimate for me when you have more information for me? This is currently a blocker for me.
Hello, @stefan.pointecker
Thanks for your patience.
We will revert with an update at the nearest time ( most probably Tomorrow).
Our team is working on the problem and once the plugin will be deployed - you will be notified.
