Make every news source you save produce its own RSS feed
Plenty of news sites you want to follow do not offer a feed. When you add a source subpage under your Sources page in Notion, Notis converts that site's page into an RSS feed you can drop straight into your reader, no feed-hunting required.

News Website to RSS Feed
Why this helps
Following a site without a native feed means checking it by hand, which is exactly the kind of recurring chore that quietly gets dropped.
- Gives any news site a feed even when it has none.
- Turns following a source into one saved subpage.
- Feeds all your sources into one reader instead of scattered tabs.
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 'Source to RSS'.
- 3Write the plain-language prompt, for example: 'When a new subpage is added under my Sources page, convert its URL into an RSS feed and reply with the feed link.'
- 4Choose the Page Added to Page trigger and point it at your Sources page.
- 5Select the reporting channel, then add one source subpage to test the feed.
Questions about this workflow
What do I get back?
An RSS feed URL generated from the news site's page, ready to add to any feed reader.
Does the site need to already have RSS?
No. This is specifically for sites that do not provide a feed natively.
Which Notion structure triggers it?
A new subpage added under the parent Sources page you specify, so only that spot triggers the conversion.
