Turn Notion into a daily top-news briefing habit
You do not need ten open tabs to feel informed. On the schedule you set, Notis asks the World News API for the top clustered headlines in your country and language and hands you one tidy brief before you even open Notion.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Get Top News
View relevance-ranked top news clusters for a country and language.
Why this helps
Founders lose the first hour of the day hunting for the news that matters and end up context-switching between a dozen sites before real work begins.
- Replaces morning tab-hopping with a single scheduled brief.
- Uses clustered top news so you see the story, not fifty duplicate links.
- Runs on your rhythm, whether that is 6am or right after coffee.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and World News API to Notis once from the portal (ask Notis 'Send me my portal link' if you need it).
- 2In the portal open Automations, click New Automation, and name it something like 'Morning top-news brief'.
- 3Write the outcome as one plain-language prompt, for example: 'Every weekday at 7am, get the top news for my country in English and send me a short brief.'
- 4Pick a recurring schedule as the trigger and set the time you want.
- 5Choose the channel where Notis posts the brief, then run it once to confirm the digest looks right.
Questions about this workflow
Can I choose the country and language for the brief?
Yes. You describe both in the plain-language prompt, and Notis passes them to the World News API when it fetches the top news.
Do I have to build any filters or field maps?
No. Notis has no mapping screens. You write one instruction and it interprets the rest.
Where does the brief show up?
Wherever you point the automation's channel, such as Telegram, WhatsApp, or email.
