Turn comment links into structured article context
Discussions move fast and links get dropped mid-thread. When a new comment with an article URL lands on your Notion page, Notis extracts the piece into clean structured data so the conversation gains context instead of another tab to chase.

Why this helps
Links shared in comments get buried, and nobody actually opens them, so the discussion loses the evidence it was built on.
- Keeps shared links from dying unopened in comment threads.
- Gives every discussion the article substance inline.
- Runs quietly without interrupting the conversation.
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 'Comment link extract'.
- 3Write the outcome in plain language, for example: 'When a new comment with a news URL is added to a page, extract the article and post the summary.'
- 4Choose the New Comment trigger and point it at the page or block you care about.
- 5Select the reporting channel, then add a test comment with a real link.
Questions about this workflow
Can I scope this to one page?
Yes. The New Comment trigger targets a specific Notion block or page, so it only runs where you want.
What happens if the comment has no URL?
Notis simply does nothing for that comment. It only acts when there is an article link to extract.
Where does the extracted summary go?
To the channel you choose for run reports, or back into the thread if you ask for that in the prompt.
