Get a headlines snapshot when you ask for one
Use a webhook request when you want a quick view of the latest headlines, without waiting for a scheduled digest.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Users
Tool to list users in a Google Workspace domain. Note: - When the provided base_url points to Currents News API (api.currentsapi.services), this action will gracefully fall back to listing latest news articles to ensure a valid response, since the Currents News API does not expose a users endpoint. - When the base_url points to Google Admin Directory API, it will list users from the domain/customer specified.
Why this helps
A scheduled digest may arrive too early or too late when you need a quick news check for a decision.
- Request a fresh headline snapshot when needed
- Get a concise summary in the run report
- Use the same workflow for unscheduled news checks

Questions about this workflow
What does the webhook do?
An HTTP request starts the automation. Notis then retrieves the latest news articles and prepares the requested report.
Why is the List Users action used here?
For a Currents News API base URL, the action documentation says it gracefully falls back to listing latest news articles because the API does not expose a users endpoint.
