Add a news check to an external market signal
When a system you already use flags a market change, a webhook can start Notis on a focused Currents news lookup for your review.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
List Latest News
Tool to retrieve the latest news articles from Currents News API. Use when you need a real-time feed of recent articles.
Why this helps
Signals from external tools can land without an owner or an easy next step, leaving founders to reconnect the context manually.
- Pairs an incoming signal with a concrete research follow-up.
- Reduces the chance that an alert becomes another untracked thread.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Currents api to Notis once in the portal; connect Slack if you want run reports there.
- 2Create an automation in Automations -> New Automation or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Write one prompt asking Notis to fetch recent news about the market topic supplied with the incoming signal.
- 4Choose an incoming webhook trigger and configure the sending tool or backend to call the provided endpoint.
- 5Send one real test signal and review the run report in your chosen channel.
