How to get started with Scheduled?

This guide will walk you through setting up Scheduled to automate publishing your social media posts directly from Notion.

Step 1: Create your content calendar

1. After creating your account, you'll land on the Scheduled homepage
2. Click on "Add content calendar"
3. Name your calendar (e.g., "My LinkedIn Posts")
4. This calendar will help you organize your posts and collaborate with your team

Step 2: Set up your Notion database

Download the free template (recommended)

• Before connecting Notion, download Scheduled's free template
• It comes pre-configured with all necessary properties:
• Publication date
• Social connection
• Post status
• The template is minimalist for easy onboarding

Connect your Notion database

1. Click on "Grant Access to Notion"
2. Select the correct Notion workspace
3. Important: Only share the necessary database

• Avoid sharing your entire Notion
• Centralize your databases on a single page if you use multiple ones

Step 3: Configure required properties

Three essential properties are needed for Scheduled to work:

1. Publication Date

• Determines when your post will be published
• Don't forget to include the time

2. Social Connection

• Indicates where to publish your post (profile, page, etc.)
• Uses unique aliases for each connection

3. Status

• "Ready to be scheduled": post is ready for scheduling
• "Published": post has been published

💡 Important: If you want to rename these properties, do it before configuring in Scheduled to avoid synchronization issues.

Step 4: Connect your social networks

1. In the "Social" tab, choose the network to connect
2. Follow the authorization process
3. Once connected, your account's alias will be automatically added to Notion

Step 5: Finalize configuration

Set Default publication time

• Define a default publication time
• Prevents midnight publications in case you forget to set a time

Activate synchronization

1. Enable "Auto fetch Notion post"
2. Scheduled will check for new posts every 2 hours

Advanced features

• Allows instant scheduling from Notion
• Provides immediate feedback on your posts
