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
Keeping up with news can turn into repeated browsing and fragmented attention throughout the day.
- Receive a briefing on a chosen schedule
- Reduce repeated manual headline searches
- Keep the roundup in a familiar messaging app
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect WhatsApp and Currents api once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name.
- 3Tell Notis which topics to include, how concise the briefing should be, and where to send it in WhatsApp.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real run and review the resulting briefing.
Questions about this workflow
Can the briefing cover specific topics?
Yes. Name the topics in your instruction. Notis can only summarize articles Currents returns for that request.
Does this use a real-time breaking-news alert?
No. It runs on the schedule you choose and retrieves the latest articles available at run time.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
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.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Activities Watch
Tool to start a notification channel to watch activities for a specified user and application. Use when needing to receive push notifications for user activity; call after OAuth credentials and webhook endpoint are set up.
Message Status Updated
Triggers when a WhatsApp message status changes. IMPORTANT LIMITATION: WhatsApp Cloud API does not provide a native polling endpoint for message status. Status updates are ONLY delivered via webhooks in real-time. This trigger cannot directly poll the WhatsApp API for status updates. This trigger will return empty results as WhatsApp does not support this operation. To track message status updates, you must: 1. Set up a webhook endpoint to receive status notifications from WhatsApp 2. Store the webhook data in your own database 3. Use a different mechanism to query your stored webhook data For more information, see: - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/cloud-api/webhooks
Get Entity Usage Reports
Tool to retrieve usage statistics for a specific Google Workspace entity. Use when you need to analyze entity usage on a particular date.
New Message Received
Triggered in real time when your WhatsApp Business number receives an inbound message from a customer (text, media, location, or contact). Delivered via the Cloud API webhook.
List Users
Tool to list users in a Google Workspace domain. Note: - When the provided base_url points to Currents News API (api.currentsapi.services), this action will gracefully fall back to listing latest news articles to ensure a valid response, since the Currents News API does not expose a users endpoint. - When the base_url points to Google Admin Directory API, it will list users from the domain/customer specified.
Interactive Reply Received
Triggered when a customer taps a quick-reply button or selects an option from an interactive list message you sent.
Get User Usage Report
Tool to retrieve the usage report for a specified user on a given date. Use after confirming the userKey and date. Use when detailed usage metrics are needed for auditing or monitoring.
