Keep an article page in sync with the link inside it

When you swap the URL on a tracked article page, the summary underneath it should follow. Update any block in that Notion page and Notis re-extracts the article at the new link into clean structured data, so the page never disagrees with itself.

Extract News

Why this helps

You update the link but forget to update the summary, so the page ends up describing an article it no longer points to.

  • Keeps the summary matched to the current link.
  • Removes the easy-to-forget manual re-extract.
  • Runs only on the page you actually track.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Notion and World News API to Notis once from the portal.
  • 2Open Automations, click New Automation, and name it 'Article page re-extract'.
  • 3Describe the outcome, for example: 'When this article page is updated with a new URL, re-extract the article and refresh the summary.'
  • 4Choose the Page Updated trigger and point it at the tracked page.
  • 5Set the reporting channel, then paste a new URL to test the re-extract.

Questions about this workflow

Which page does it watch?

The Page Updated trigger targets a specific Notion page, so only edits to that page run the automation.

Will it re-run on unrelated edits?

Ask Notis to act only when the URL changes and it will ignore edits that leave the link alone.

Can it overwrite the old summary?

Yes. Ask it to update the page and the fresh extraction replaces the previous summary.
