Communicate Design Changes with Video Comparisons
Design feedback scattered across Slack and Figma. Stakeholders can't compare versions. Decisions drag. Instead, create a side-by-side video showing old vs. new design with annotations explaining each change. Design cycles collapse from 2 weeks to 2 days because feedback is visual, not subjective.
Trigger
Webhook received
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Action
Create Template (v2)
Tool to save an Edit as a re-usable template. Templates can be retrieved and modified before rendering. Use when you want to create a template with merge fields for dynamic content.
Why this helps
Design feedback lives in comments and threads. Stakeholders can't compare versions easily. Decisions become subjective arguments instead of visual assessments. Your designer spends hours defending choices instead of iterating.
- Side-by-side video comparison removes subjectivity - decision-makers see differences clearly
- Feedback becomes actionable because changes are visually obvious
- Design cycles accelerate from weeks to days because stakeholders decide faster
- Documentation of design evolution becomes shareable asset for case studies
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Productlane and Shotstack to Notis
- 2Create an automation: 'When design iterations are collected in Productlane, create a Shotstack template for side-by-side design comparisons with merge fields for [Design Version], [Change Notes], and [Stakeholder Feedback]'
- 3Select webhook trigger to catch design feedback consolidation
- 4Choose your notification channel - template will be ready for your designer to use
- 5Test by logging design feedback in Productlane to see the template created
Questions about this workflow
Do I have to record voiceover for the design comparison?
No. Silent side-by-side video works fine. But adding a 30-second voiceover explaining key changes makes feedback undeniable.
Can I compare more than 2 design versions?
Templates handle 2-3 versions well. More than that gets confusing. Do separate comparison videos for 4+ versions.
Who should watch these design videos?
Your design stakeholders - product, leadership, board. They're decision-makers who need clarity to approve changes quickly.

Recurring trigger
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Create Template
Tool to create a new template for video editing. Use when you want to save a reusable timeline configuration as a template. Template changes do not retroactively affect past renders.
Webhook trigger
Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.
Create Template (v2)
Tool to save an Edit as a re-usable template. Templates can be retrieved and modified before rendering. Use when you want to create a template with merge fields for dynamic content.
Delete Ingested Media
Tool to delete an ingested media asset. Use when you've confirmed the ingest ID and need to remove the file from Shotstack storage.
Delete Template
Tool to delete a specific Shotstack template by its ID. Use when you need to remove a template permanently.
Delete Shotstack Workflow
Tool to delete a specific Shotstack workflow. Use when you need to permanently remove a workflow after confirming its ID.
Fetch Source
Tool to fetch a remote media file and store it as a source asset. Operation is asynchronous — poll SHOTSTACK_GET_INGEST_STATUS or SHOTSTACK_INSPECT_MEDIA until the asset is ready before passing it to SHOTSTACK_RENDER_VIDEO or other downstream tools. Use when you need to ingest a file before rendering.
Get Asset
Tool to fetch details of a hosted asset by its unique identifier. Use when you need to retrieve information about videos, images, audio files, thumbnails, or poster images hosted on Shotstack's CDN.
Get Assets by Render ID
Tool to retrieve hosted assets by render ID. Use when you need to fetch one or more files (video, thumbnail, poster image) generated by a specific render job.
