What it does

Each integration step this workflow runs, in order, what it is for, and the conditions and loops that decide when it runs.

  1. 1NotionList databasesFinds the Notion database whose name exactly matches the one you gave, among those shared with your integration.
  2. 2NotionQuery databaseReads the titles of pages already in the database so an article that has been filed is not filed again.
  3. For each articleEntry

    1. 3AnthropicGenerate model responseAsks the AI for the article's title, a short summary and up to six key points, flagging paywall or error pages.
    2. 4NotionCreate pageCreates a page in the database titled with the article, holding the summary, key points and a link to the source.

How it works

What happens on each run, in plain English.

Give it a list of article links, one per line, and the name of a Notion database, and run it. Each article is fetched and read, and the AI writes it up for whatever you are reading for: a short summary paragraph, up to six key points and a link back to the original. Each write-up is filed as a page in that database, titled with the article's own title.

Nothing is ever overwritten. The titles already in the database are read first, and an article that is there is left alone, so re-running after adding two more links files only those two. A duplicate link, an address that will not load, or a page that serves a paywall or cookie wall instead of the article is reported and skipped rather than filed as an empty note.

The database is found by name, so it must be shared with your Notion integration and named exactly as you give it.
