Start indexing your data

Learn how to index your Salesforce B2C Commerce catalog data into Algolia.

The Algolia B2C cartridge comes with six Salesforce B2C Commerce jobs that can build, synchronize, and clear product and category indices, and one for content indices.

Job	What it indexes
AlgoliaProductIndex_v2	Products
AlgoliaProductDeltaIndex_v2	Products
AlgoliaProductPriceIndex_v2	Products
AlgoliaProductInventoryIndex_v2	Products
AlgoliaCategoryIndex_v2	Categories
AlgoliaContentIndex_v2	Content

Initial indexing

To start indexing your product data to Algolia:

1. Go to Administration > Operations > Jobs.

   

2. Select AlgoliaProductIndex_v2 and go to the Job Steps section.

3. Set the execution scope to the site you want to run the job for.

4. Run the job.

Repeat the same steps for AlgoliaCategoryIndex_v2.

When both jobs are finished, you can check the new indices created in the Algolia dashboard.
