Request a news brief from your Box research context

When a decision needs fresh context, send a request and get a focused list of recent headlines to review.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

List Latest News

Tool to retrieve the latest news articles from Currents News API. Use when you need a real-time feed of recent articles.

Why this helps

A last-minute news check can turn into an open-ended search across multiple tabs.

  • Start a news search when a decision calls for it.
  • Use Box material as the topic context when available.
  • Receive a concise result through your selected report channel.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Box and Currents API once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and enter a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis to use the request and available Box context to find and summarize recent headlines.
  • 4Choose the Notis webhook trigger and select where run reports go.
  • 5Test by sending one real request and reviewing the response.

Questions about this workflow

What starts this workflow?

An HTTP request to the Notis webhook starts it. Include the topic or Box context needed for the news search.

Does the webhook fetch Box documents by itself?

The prompt can use Box context available to Notis. State the relevant file or topic in the request if needed.
