Why this helps

Repeatedly checking whether a news feed has fresh articles adds a small but recurring interruption to a founder's day.

  • Use the documented fallback behavior for the Currents News API base URL.
  • Retrieve latest news articles on a recurring schedule.
  • Get a concise report without manually opening the feed.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Abuselpdb and Currents api once in the Notis portal, using a Currents News API base URL for Currents api.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it.
  • 3Tell Notis to summarize the latest articles returned by the action's documented news fallback.
  • 4Choose a recurring schedule trigger and select where run reports should go.
  • 5Run one real example and confirm the connection uses the Currents News API base URL.

Questions about this workflow

Why use List Users for a news workflow?

The action documentation says it gracefully falls back to listing latest news articles when the base URL points to Currents News API, which does not expose a users endpoint.

Will this fallback happen with every Currents connection?

It is documented for connections whose base_url points to api.currentsapi.services. Confirm the connection uses that API before relying on the fallback.
