Composio News Search

The newssearch class performs a news-specific search using the composio news search api. this class extends the functionality of the base action class to specifically target news articles related to the given query. by utilizing the google news search engine through the composio news search api, it fetches the most relevant news articles based on the input query. the `newssearch` class is particularly useful for applications that need to retrieve and display the latest news articles about a specific topic. it leverages the powerful search capabilities of google's news search engine, ensuring that the returned results are current and relevant.

Why this helps

A view update can pull attention away from a separate news topic you meant to keep an eye on.

  • Use an existing view change as a meaningful prompt to check a specified topic.
  • Get a concise digest of relevant news results.
  • Keep the monitored subject explicit in your automation prompt.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Airtable and Composio search once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction what news topic to search and how to summarize results when the view metadata changes.
  • 4Pick the Airtable View Metadata Changed trigger, select a report channel, and test with one real view change.

Questions about this workflow

Does this search infer a topic from the view name?

Do not rely on that unless the changed view details are available to Notis. Include the topic in the instruction.

What does the Airtable event cover?
