Make every saved news link self-summarize in Notion
Saving a link is easy. Remembering why you saved it three weeks later is not. When you create a Notion page with an article URL, Notis extracts the piece into clean structured data, headline, body, authors, publish date, and sentiment, so the context is captured while it is fresh.
Trigger
Page Created
Fires when a new page is created in the accessible workspace.
Action
Extract News
Why this helps
Reading lists fill up with bare links that lose all meaning once the initial spark of interest fades.
- Captures the article's substance while your interest is still hot.
- Turns bare links into searchable structured records.
- Removes the re-reading tax on your reading list.
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 'Link to structured summary'.
- 3Write the plain-language prompt, for example: 'When I create a page with a news article URL, extract the article into structured fields and reply with the summary.'
- 4Choose the Page Created trigger.
- 5Pick where Notis reports each run, then paste one real URL to test the extraction.
Questions about this workflow
What does the extraction return?
Structured fields including title, full text, images, publish date, authors, language, and sentiment from the World News API.
Does it work for any news site?
It works for standard news article URLs. If a page cannot be parsed, Notis reports that in the run channel.
Do I need to format the page a certain way?
No. Just include the article URL. Notis reads the plain-language instruction, not a field map.
