Turn a posted URL into structured article data
When your own systems find a link worth keeping, they should not need a human to process it. Post a URL to Notis from any app or script and it returns the article as clean structured JSON, so the extraction slots straight into whatever you build next.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Extract News
Why this helps
Automated pipelines collect URLs faster than anyone can open and summarize them, leaving raw links piling up with no structure.
- Lets any system request an extraction on demand.
- Returns structured fields ready for downstream storage.
- Removes the human bottleneck on link processing.
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 'Webhook URL extract'.
- 3Describe the outcome, for example: 'When a request with a news URL comes in, extract the article into structured fields and return them.'
- 4Choose the incoming webhook as the trigger and copy the URL Notis provides.
- 5Set the reporting channel, then send one test request to confirm the JSON.
Questions about this workflow
How do I send the URL?
Include it in the webhook request body and reference it in your instruction so Notis extracts the right article.
What fields come back?
Title, full text, images, videos, publish date, authors, language, and sentiment from the World News API.
Can I route the result into Notion too?
Yes. Add that step to your instruction and Notis can write the extracted article into a Notion page.
