Blog & Newsletter – Notis

Quick start: speak these

Draft a blog post comparing Notis with Poke, Memorae, and Zapier. Do deep research on the web and explore my Notion workspace.

Generate a funny cartoon header for the blog post.

Please publish the blog post on Framer.

Notis researches, writes, illustrates, and publishes your content.

Blog & newsletter workflow

1. Share your idea

Start with a rough concept — voice or text:

I want to write about how AI tools are changing content creation...

Draft a blog post comparing our features with competitors.

Write a newsletter about our product launch.

2. Notis does deep research

Notis researches across multiple sources:

Web search for current information

Your Notion workspace for internal context

Competitor analysis when requested

Response:

I've researched across the web and your Notion workspace. Here's your draft comparing Notis with Poke, Memorae, and Zapier.

3. Review and refine the draft

Ask for style adjustments:

Update the style to match my previous competitor comparisons.

Make it more conversational.

Add more data points.

4. Generate custom images

Request visuals for your content:

Generate a funny cartoon header for the blog post.

Create a hero image about productivity.

Make an infographic summarizing the key points.

Notis generates and adds images to your draft.

5. Save it in Notion

When you're ready:

Please save it in my Blog & Newsletter database.

Set up your Blog & Newsletter database in Notion

The Notis Second Brain already contains a Blog & Newsletter database set up for you.

💡

You can easily create a Blog & Newsletter database or customize the one that comes with the template. Just make sure it has a title property and Notis will understand it should be used for blogging.

Optional - Set up with Framer

If you want your Notion blog database to power your website, you can connect it to Framer:

Create your Framer site (or open an existing one).

In Framer, add a CMS collection and choose the option to sync it with Notion, then connect it to your Blog & Newsletter database.

Map your Notion properties to Framer fields (for example: title, meta description, publish date, status, header image, and content).

Configure which entries should be published (for example, only pages with Status = published).

Publish your Framer site.
