Automate a weekly sweep of any newsroom's article links
Checking a rival's press page is the kind of task that only gets done when it is already too late. On the schedule you set, Notis extracts every article link from that page so new announcements show up in your channel without you remembering to look.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Extract News Links
Extract article links from a news homepage or section; an empty result is successful.
Why this helps
Competitor and industry newsrooms only get checked sporadically, so launches and announcements are discovered days after they matter.
- Catches new press announcements on a reliable cadence.
- Removes a recurring manual check you always postpone.
- Surfaces every article link, not just the top of the page.
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 'Weekly newsroom scan'.
- 3Write the plain-language prompt, for example: 'Every Monday at 9am, extract all article links from this newsroom page and list any that are new.'
- 4Choose a recurring schedule as the trigger and set it to weekly.
- 5Pick the channel for the report, then run it once to confirm the link list.
Questions about this workflow
Can I filter which links it returns?
Yes. World News API supports URL-prefix and subdomain filtering, and you describe what you want in the prompt.
Can I track more than one newsroom?
Create one automation per page, or list several pages in a single instruction and Notis will scan each.
How do I know which links are new?
Ask Notis to compare against the previous run in your instruction and it will highlight fresh links.
