Use a Notion Ads database as your creative library, so Notis can generate on-brand ads from your Brand Kit and store every variant with its copy and image for review before distribution.

​
What this setup does

Notis reads and writes your Notion databases. With a Brand Kit page and an Ads database, Notis can:
  • Generate ad copy and visuals that follow your colors, fonts, and logos automatically
  • Save each variant as a row with the copy, the original reference, and the new creative
  • Track which creatives are Draft, Approved, Live, or Paused so your distribution stack knows what is ready to launch
This flow covers creative ideation and brand-safe generation only. There is no campaign launch: pair it with Pipeboard, ZuckerBot, or AdKit for distribution, as described in Media Buying.

​
Step 1: Prepare your Brand Kit doc

Create a Notion page that includes:
  • Primary and accent colors, font names, and logo files
  • One or two example screenshots of on‑brand UI
  • Do’s and don’ts for claims and tone
Copy this page’s link and paste it in the Ads database description. This is critical for brand adherence: Notis pulls colors, fonts, and logos from it automatically on every generation.

​
Step 2: Create an “Ads” database in Notion

The Notis Second Brain template includes an Ads database. To build your own, create an inline database called “Ads” with these properties:
  • Title: Ad name
  • Text: Ad copy
  • Files: Original creative
  • Files: New creative
  • Select: Status (Draft / Approved / Live / Paused)
  • Relation (optional): Campaign
Add a database description with your instructions for Notis. Example:
Add field‑level descriptions so the assistant understands intent, for example “Original creative = competitor reference provided by user”. Not sure how to do this?
Add a “Status” property (Draft / Approved / Live / Paused) to your Ads database so Notis knows which creatives are ready to launch.

​
Step 3: Connect the new Ads database to Notis

Use one of the three options:
  • Portal: Open the Notis Portal from Telegram or web, Add Database, authorize, then manually Sync for instant availability
  • Notion “Connections”: Add Notis to the page via Connections menu.
  • Nesting: Place the page under an already‑synced area so it’s auto‑discovered by Notis.
After adding via Portal, use the info panel to verify that Notis parsed your database description correctly.

​
Step 4: Gather inspiration and references

Search for your competitors in the Facebook Ad Library and find an ad that resonates with you or just scroll instagram (the ones you see are likely the most performing ones. Save the best reference as a screenshot. You’ll send it to Notis as the seed.

​
Step 5: Ask Notis to create the ad

Send your screenshot to Notis with a concise task:
Create a new ad for <PRODUCT>. Here’s a competitor screenshot.
You can also ask for several variants at once, or iterate on a winner:
Create three ad variations for Voice Mode using my Brand Kit. Save them in my Ads database with copy and image.
Take the top creative and generate three new variations with different hooks.
Notis pulls your Brand Kit, generates the visuals, drafts the copy, and stores entries in your Ads database, ready for review.

​
Step 6: What happens behind the scenes

  • Triage engine builds a plan: fetch Brand Kit, scrape product site, then design and save
  • Context Manager retrieves your Brand Kit and site content
  • Image model generates an on‑brand visual
  • Upsert assistant saves a new row with copy, Original creative, and New creative in your Ads DB

​
Step 7: Review and approve

Open the Notion Ads database and approve the variants you want to ship. Approved ads are flagged as ready for distribution: hand them to Pipeboard, ZuckerBot, or AdKit from the Media Buying guide.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Creatives ignore your brand: Check that the Brand Kit page link is in the Ads database description and that the portal info panel shows the description was parsed.
  • Notis can’t find your Ads database: Make sure it is connected to Notis and synced.
