Request a news brief from any system

Send one webhook and receive a focused current events brief without changing tools.

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

Research requests arrive from forms and internal tools but still require manual follow through.

  • Handle research requests consistently
  • Reduce follow up work
  • Centralize brief delivery

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Currents api once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation named webhook news desk brief.
  • 3Tell Notis to read the webhook topic and return relevant latest headlines with a concise summary.
  • 4Choose a Notis webhook trigger and select the report channel.
  • 5Send one real webhook example to test the flow.

Questions about this workflow

What should the webhook contain?

Include a clear topic, optional audience, and the desired depth in the request payload.

Can this run only when someone asks?
