Turn a new planning view into instant content ideas
A blank content calendar is intimidating. When you create a new view in Notion, Notis fetches the top clustered news for your market so your fresh planning view arrives with timely story angles you can drag straight onto the calendar.
Trigger
View Created
Fires when a new view is created in the workspace.
Action
Get Top News
View relevance-ranked top news clusters for a country and language.
Why this helps
A new planning view starts empty, and staring at an empty calendar is exactly when the ideas dry up.
- Opens a new view with timely angles, not a blank grid.
- Ties story ideas to what is actually in the news.
- Kickstarts planning right when you sit down to do it.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and World News API to Notis once from the portal.
- 2In Automations, click New Automation and name it 'New view idea fill'.
- 3Write the plain-language prompt, for example: 'When I create a new content view, fetch the top news for my market and suggest content angles.'
- 4Choose the View Created trigger.
- 5Set the reporting channel, then create a test view to confirm the ideas.
Questions about this workflow
Which view types trigger it?
View Created fires workspace-wide and the payload notes the view type, so you can focus on calendar or board views in your instruction.
Can it add the ideas as rows?
Ask Notis to create draft rows and it can place the suggested angles into the view's database.
How current are the ideas?
They come from the current top news for the market you name, so they reflect today's stories.
