Request a country news briefing from any system you run
Sometimes the right moment for a briefing is decided by your own code, not a clock. Send Notis an HTTP request from any external tool and it returns the top clustered news for the country you name, so a briefing fires exactly when your workflow calls for it.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Get Top News
View relevance-ranked top news clusters for a country and language.
Why this helps
Briefings tied to a fixed schedule miss the moments that actually matter, when a build finishes, a deal moves, or a script decides it is time.
- Lets any tool request a briefing at the exact right moment.
- Returns clustered top news for the country you pass in.
- Fits into custom backends without extra glue code.
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 'Webhook news briefing'.
- 3Write the plain-language prompt, for example: 'When a request comes in, fetch the top news for the country in the request and reply with a brief.'
- 4Choose the incoming webhook as the trigger and copy the URL Notis provides.
- 5Pick the reporting channel, then send one test request to confirm the response.
Questions about this workflow
How do I pass the country?
Include it in the webhook request body and reference it in your instruction so Notis targets the right market.
Do I need to write integration code?
Only enough to send an HTTP request. Notis handles the news call from your plain-language instruction.
Can the same webhook cover different countries?
Yes. Pass a different country each time and Notis briefs on whichever one you send.
