Edit Social Media Posts from Notion

We’ll be discussing how to integrate Notion into the Ayrshare API to quickly and easily edit social media posts from Notion. By the end of this article, you will be able to create and edit your social media content in the Notion database and have Ayrshare integration to handle posting to relevant social media platforms.

Raise your hand if you use Notion to run your business – Backboards, shared documents, or databases (CMS). You’re not alone – we use Notion as part of our daily work – and the number of Creative Notion apps is amazing, like you can build your entire blog from an idea.

One popular case is editing posts to multiple social media accounts from Notion instead of using one of the social media editing tools or directly calling the Instagram API, YouTube API, Facebook API, etc. You create a social media post schedule, such as your latest promotions, on a table, board, or social media calendar. If the post is approved mark it as ready for publication. Let’s see how to post from Notion using Ayrshare’s social media editing API. If you want to skip the article, go to our idea integration guide or watch the YouTube video.

What is Notion

Notion is a one-stop shop productivity tool that helps individuals and teams track their content in one place. It allows users to create and edit content in its simple, yet powerful environment. Users can create anything from notes, tasks, projects, and databases and any of these can be integrated with third-party tools. Collaboration is trivial as multiple users can work on the same piece of information. Notion also provides powerful API endpoints that allow developers to build their own integrations and customizations to fit your use case for agencies, social media marketing teams, or community managers. All of this comes in an easy-to-use interface that makes accessing these features a breeze. Because of this simplicity and feature richness, it has quickly become a solution for students, professionals, and personal users.

Why You Want to Ship from Notion

There is no escaping the power of social media in today’s world. Having an efficient workflow for your business, organization, or personal use is essential to getting your message out there. Notion and Ayrshare can combine together to provide a single workflow that allows you to do as many social media posts as you want from one place without the need for another social media tool. Notion’s easy-to-use interface and the power of the Ayrshare API are a powerful combination that can change your team’s game.

How to set up a Notion for Social Posting

Follow the instructions to connect Notion to Ayrshare. As a summary, you will be creating a database in Notion that will contain all the content of each social media post, social network locations, and status. This database will have the following columns and column types:

• Send as Title column type (you have no choice here for column type)
• Platforms like Multiple choice column type in values: facebook, instagram, twitter, linkedin, tiktok, and/or phone.
• Pictures like Files and media column type .
• Profile Keys as A text column type.

Status as A text column type.

Each row in this database will be a single post, with a post status column.

Then, you can create an internal integration in Notion and connect it to this database.

Finally, you can run a script that will schedule the relevant social media posts for all rows with a ‘pending’ status. If successful, the status will change to ‘success’. On the Notion website, you can create as many lines as you like, and even insert images and videos, using Notion’s fast and easy-to-use interface.
