Automate Your Ads, Then Keep Going
You can finish a week of ads in Canva and still have no campaign. The files sit in a folder. Captions get written later. Follow-up lives in a different tab. The landing page is whatever was last running on someone's laptop.
For advertising, use Layerre to generate the creatives, then continue in Wysera. If those ads send people to a site you are still building, keep that site up with Rig.
Generate the ads in Layerre
Make one ad in Canva. Give each changing piece its own layer: headline, offer, photo, city, button. That file is the template. A campaign usually needs more than one version of it. Feed vs story, a new price, a second language, a different product shot.
Paste the Canva share link into Layerre. Map those layers to columns in a spreadsheet. One row is one export. A sheet with 40 rows is 40 ads, without duplicating the Canva file 40 times. You can run a batch in the app, or send rows through Google Sheets, Zapier, Make, n8n, or the API.
Each variant comes back as a PNG or PDF with a URL. That URL is what you hand to the next tool. Longer walkthrough: scaling ad creative.
Continue in Wysera
Once the images exist, the campaign still has to go out. Wysera is the next step. You drop in the Layerre files (or their URLs) and keep working on the same offer: caption, email, follow-up, who clicked.
Wysera drafts social posts and cold emails in the brand voice you already set. It schedules the posts, logs replies in the same record as the deal, and waits for you to approve before anything sends. Marketing and CRM sit in one login, so the person who opened the ad is not a new contact you have to type in later.
Practical split: Layerre stops when the file is rendered. Wysera starts with that file and runs the rest of the week, including the follow-up if someone replies on Thursday.
Keep the landing page up with Rig
Ads still need a URL that works. If you are building that page locally, the usual mess is a few terminal windows, a database that did not start, and a port you already used on another client. Rig is a desktop app for Mac and Windows. One click starts the site, the database, and the background jobs in order. Logs land in one place. If a process dies, Rig restarts it and points at the line that explains why.
You can share a Live Link so a client opens the same page the ads will use. Cursor or Claude can read the board through MCP, which saves you pasting error logs when the form 500s right before launch. Local use is free.
How a week of ads looks
- Finish the Canva ad. Name the layers you will swap. Import it into Layerre.
- Put headlines, sizes, and offers in a sheet. Generate the variants. Copy the image URLs.
- Continue in Wysera. Attach those images to the posts and emails, edit the drafts, approve, and let replies land on the same record.
- Point every CTA at the landing page. If that page is still on your machine, start it in Rig and share the Live Link until it is hosted.
You can skip Rig if the site is already live. You can skip Wysera if you already like your email tool. If you are still duplicating Canva files by hand, start with Layerre.
