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
Triggers when a new Notion view is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload includes `data.view_type` (`table`, `board`, `gallery`, `calendar`, `list`, `timeline`, `gantt`) and `data.parent` pointing at the view's tree parent (typically the teamspace), so customers can filter downstream.
Action
Get Top News
Tool to get the top news from a country in a specific language for a given date. The top news are clustered from multiple sources in the specified country. Use when you need to retrieve current or historical top news headlines and articles.
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.

Supported Triggers and Actions
Notis builds workflows that link Notion to World news api. A trigger fires from one place; an action lands in another.
Notion triggers
World news api actions
All Page Events
Triggers when any Notion page is created or updated across the workspace.
Extract News
Tool to extract a news article from a website to a well-structured JSON object. Use when you need to extract structured data from a news article URL, including title, text, images, videos, publish date, authors, language, and sentiment.
Comment Created
Triggers when a new comment is created in Notion. Optional `page_id` filter scopes to comments on a specific page. When omitted, fires for any new comment in the workspace the integration has access to. Requires the 'Read comments' capability on the Notion integration. If a connection was authorized before that capability was enabled, the user must re-authorize the connection for comment events to flow.
Extract News Links
Tool to extract news article links from a website or webpage. Use when you need to discover all news article URLs on a page, with optional filtering by URL prefix and subdomain inclusion.
New Comment
Triggers when a new comment is added to a specified Notion block or page.
Get Geo Coordinates
Tool to retrieve latitude and longitude of a location name. Use when you need geographic coordinates to fill the location-filter parameter in news search operations.
Database Created
Triggers when a new Notion database (the container) is created. A database is the post-2025-09-03 container that holds one or more data sources. This trigger fires for the container's creation event (`database.created`), distinct from `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` which fires when a new data source is added to an existing database. Most customers calling Notion's `POST /v1/databases` (the legacy API) or creating a database via the Notion UI will see this event. Adding a new data source to an existing database fires `data_source.created` instead — use `NOTION_DATASOURCE_CREATED` for that. Notion's payload puts `entity.type: "block"` (the container is a `child_database` block in the content tree) and `entity.id` is the database id.
News Website to RSS Feed
Tool to convert any news website page into an RSS feed. Provide a URL to a news website page and get back an RSS feed with the latest news from that page. Use when you need to create an RSS feed from a news website that doesn't provide one natively.
Data Source Created
Triggers when a new Notion data source is created. Fires workspace-wide. The payload's `data.parent` carries the data source's tree parent (typically the teamspace) for downstream filtering. A single template-based database creation can fire multiple `data_source.created` events at once — one per data source the template instantiates.
Search News Sources
Tool to search whether a news source is being monitored by the World News API. Use when you need to check if a specific news source is available in the system.
Data Source Schema Updated
Triggers when a Notion data source's schema is updated. Fires on column add / remove / rename. Payload includes `data.updated_properties: [{id, name, action}]` so consumers can discriminate the kind of change downstream. Optional `data_source_id` filter scopes to schema changes on a single data source. When omitted, fires for any schema change in the workspace the integration has access to. Note: adding a column also fires `page.properties_updated` once per existing row in the data source. Customers wanting a single structural-change signal should use this trigger.
Get Top News
Tool to get the top news from a country in a specific language for a given date. The top news are clustered from multiple sources in the specified country. Use when you need to retrieve current or historical top news headlines and articles.
New Page
Triggers when a new page is added to a Notion database.
Page Added to Page
Fires when a new subpage (a `child_page` type block) is added under a specified parent Notion page.
