Connect Algolia and Buddy Punch
When Browse Records fires in Algolia, your agent runs Create Department Code in Buddy Punch, or Employee Created in Buddy Punch to Add or Replace Record in Algolia. Describe the whole flow and it is built, tested on every scenario and kept running.
What the catalog holds today. Ask for anything missing and your agent reads the API documentation and adds it.
Build solutions, not workarounds.
