Algolia automatic reindex

Hi @abhinavebizon

I know we have that type of “order completed” watching in our WP Search with Algolia Pro premium addon, but also unsure about budgets for you. In it we listen to the woocommerce_order_status_completed WooCommerce hook and re-index each product from the order.

A bit similar to the snippet at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/algolia-snippet-library/blob/main/indexing/reindex-on-comment-save.md where we’re showing how to sync a post after it receives a comment.

Regarding your ideas, that’s definitely a valid alternative approach, and making use of WP-CLI from the free plugin would be a great way to achieve.

Hello, thanks for your response.

To clarify, we have a third-party integration that updates our WooCommerce product inventory from Salesforce. Since these updates occur frequently, we are experiencing issues where product stock statuses are not syncing correctly with Algolia. For example, some products that are back in stock remain marked as out of stock in Algolia, and vice versa.

Could you provide some hooks or actions that we can use in our cron job to reindex the data every hour?

I would recommend checking out https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wp-search-with-algolia/wiki/WP-CLI if you’re wanting something that can be done via a cron job on the host server.

No, the CLI will not assist us in meeting our requirements. Could you suggest any action (do_action) that would help us achieve this?

I tried using the do_action below, but it didn’t work as expected:
do_action( ‘algolia_posts_index_post_product_updated’, $product, $records );

You can see how we wire things up for individual post watching and callbacks used at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wp-search-with-algolia/blob/main/includes/watchers/class-algolia-post-changes-watcher.php We essentially pass a given post through an available method to sync an individual item.

The WP-CLI methods can be found at https://github.com/WebDevStudios/wp-search-with-algolia/blob/main/includes/class-algolia-cli.php and they’re also executed via PHP, and could be a starting point for wiring things up too in a way that works better for you.

Admittedly curious why WP-CLI wouldn’t work, but if it’s a case of not having access to the server that way and/or ability to schedule cron jobs, then I do get that much.
