Share Your Roadmap Progress with Quarterly Video Updates
Your roadmap lives in Notion. Customers never see it. They ask 'what are you building?' every single month because they have no visibility. A quarterly roadmap video answers that question at scale and shows customers you actually ship what you promise.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Render Video
Tool to initiate a new video render job. Use when you have defined a timeline and output settings and want to start rendering.
Why this helps
Roadmap lives in a doc customers never access. They ask repeatedly 'when will you build X?' and you answer the same question 50 times. Roadmap updates get lost in email. You want transparency but communicating it feels like a burden.
- Quarterly video answers customer questions at scale - reduces support volume
- Builds customer trust by showing actual progress and shipping velocity
- Shareable asset for investor decks, sales calls, and team standups
- Automated quarterly schedule means it happens whether you remember or not
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Productlane and Shotstack to Notis
- 2Create an automation: 'Every quarter on [date], gather all features marked shipped in Productlane this quarter. Render a 5-minute video showing what shipped, customer impact, what's in backlog, and blockers for top requests'
- 3Select cron trigger for quarterly schedule (e.g., last Friday of March, June, September, December)
- 4Choose your notification channel - video will be ready by quarter end
- 5Test manually once, then it runs automatically every quarter
Questions about this workflow
Should I show incomplete roadmap items?
Yes, but briefly. Transparency builds trust. Say what you didn't ship, why you reprioritized, and what's coming next quarter. Customers respect honesty more than perfect execution.
How do I share this video?
Email, your website, Twitter, YouTube, customer community, investor updates. One video, many destinations. Notis can help distribute it.
What if we had a bad quarter with little shipped?
Still make the video. Explain the delays (you learned something, pivoted based on feedback, had production issues). Transparency is more valuable than hiding a rough quarter.

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 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.
