Never let a shared article link go unread again
Links get dropped in comments all over a busy workspace, and most are never opened. When any new comment is created in Notion, Notis extracts the news URL it contains into clean structured data, so the substance lands even when nobody clicks.
Trigger
Comment Created
Fires when a new comment is created in the accessible workspace.
Action
Extract News
Why this helps
Across a whole workspace, shared links pile up in comments and quietly go unread, so the context behind decisions gets lost.
- Covers comments across the entire workspace, not one page.
- Extracts substance from links nobody would have opened.
- Keeps decision context from evaporating in threads.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Notion and World News API to Notis once from the portal (re-authorize Notion if comment events do not flow yet).
- 2Open Automations, click New Automation, and name it 'Workspace comment capture'.
- 3Describe the outcome, for example: 'When a new comment with a news URL is created anywhere, extract the article and post the summary.'
- 4Choose the Comment Created trigger and leave it workspace-wide.
- 5Pick the reporting channel, then add a test comment with a link.
Questions about this workflow
How is this different from the single-page comment trigger?
This uses Comment Created, which fires workspace-wide, rather than scoping to one page or block.
Why might comment events not appear?
The Notion integration needs the Read comments capability. If it was authorized earlier, re-authorize the connection.
Does it act on comments without links?
No. It only extracts when a comment actually contains a news article URL.
