Update an onboarding lesson from its SOP
Follow the training owner’s request from the source mention to the row. Generate again after the approved procedure changes.
Keep the request, source and finished video together in the ngram Videos database. Use an onboarding SOP, a release brief or the content of the row itself. When the source changes, generate a replacement from that same row.
- Share selected pages — Connect the source pages ngram should read and any destination page where the video belongs.
- Request from a row — Set Action to Generate. Follow Status and Progress without leaving Notion.
- Refresh a lesson — Generate again from the existing row after approving a revised source.
Three examples of the Notion workflow
Deliver a release video to a second page
The Brand Kit release brief supplies the source. Add video to names the Sales enablement page where the finished video should also appear.
Recover a source-sharing error
Read Error, share the source with ngram and retry the same row. Check the destination permission separately if the video belongs on another page.
How it works
From a shared page to a video in the same row
The connected workspace uses the linked ngram account’s credits. Every Notion plan can use the connection. Notion AI credits are not required.
01
Choose the pages to connect
Open Connect Notion in ngram and select the pages it may read. Pages inside the selected pages are included. After you return to ngram, look for ngram Videos at the top of your Private section in Notion.
02
Complete the brief in a row
In Topic, name the audience and task. In Source page, type @ and select a Notion page. Leave it blank to use the row page itself. Optionally set Length in seconds, Aspect ratio or an Add video to page mention.
03
Set Action to Generate
Generate starts the request without another confirmation. Action clears when ngram picks it up. Watch Status move from Preparing to Generating and use Progress and Notes to follow what the row is doing.
04
Review the result or make a new version
At Ready, open Video or the player at the top of the row page. If you chose Add video to, check that page too. After a source revision, set Generate again on the same row and review the replacement when ready.
What the server exposes
What the workspace connection handles
Choose the workspace connection for work that returns to the same source, row or destination.
Read the chosen source
ngram reads the shared source page and accessible pages inside it. Notes identifies pages read, omitted material and adjustments to the requested length.
Follow a request in Notion
Action starts or stops a request. Status and Progress belong to ngram. The ngram project field opens the project after it starts, and Video contains the result when ready.
Place the video where readers need it
Use an @-mention in Add video to for a second destination. The video is also added at the top of the row page. When Notion cannot store the file, it can play from ngram instead.
Control spending and revisions
Set a monthly credit limit on the linked workspace. Generate again after changing a source, angle, length or destination. The new version replaces the earlier video ngram added when it is ready.
Where it fits
When to keep the video in Notion
Use the database when the same people maintain the source and need to review the result. For a single public page with no recurring row, paste its link into the converter.
Keep a new-hire lesson aligned with the SOP
A team changes the handoff rule. The training owner approves the revised page, regenerates the existing row and checks the instruction before telling the next cohort.
See the explainer playbookGive a release brief a visible result
Product marketing can use an approved release page as the source and a partner page as the destination. Keep both pages shared with ngram and review the Ready video on the partner page.
See the changelog playbookFix a request without publishing a private page
When the row reports an inaccessible source, add ngram to that page’s Connections and retry Generate. The team does not need to make its internal SOP public on the web.

A Notion row is the request and delivery location. Open the linked ngram project when you need more control over the video itself.
AI Visuals
Use visuals to explain a relationship described in the source.

All converters Choose a one-off source when a database is unnecessary
A URL or pasted passage can be enough for one video. Choose the connected Notion workflow when the job needs shared pages, row status and delivery back into the workspace.

FAQ
Working with the Notion video integration
The row workflow works on every Notion plan and uses the linked ngram account’s credits. Accounts without a paid ngram subscription can use their available credits; those videos include the ngram watermark and end card. Workspace and account limits still apply.

Create a video from one shared page
Choose the pages ngram may read, then open the example row in ngram Videos and give it one audience and task.
