How to track the number of clicks on links in posts published with Scheduled?

If you regularly share links in your social media posts, it's essential to measure how well they perform. Scheduled lets you track exactly how many clicks the links in your posts get, directly from Notion. Here’s how to set up and use this feature.

Step 1: Turn on link tracking on your social connections

Before you can track clicks on your links, you need to make sure tracking is enabled for each of your social connections in Scheduled.

To turn this feature on, check out our dedicated guide: How to enable link tracking for my social connections

Step 2: Understand click tracking

Scheduled lets you track clicks on:

• Links directly in the body of your post
• Links in the first comment that’s automatically published with your post

This metric is calculated for each post and can be viewed directly in your Notion database.

Step 3: Add the tracking property in Notion

To display the number of clicks directly in Notion, you need to add a specific property to your database.

Quick method

1. Go to your Scheduled calendar
2. Open Settings > Metric collection
3. Click on the first enabled report
4. Click "Add to Notion"

The sc_post_clicks property (Number type) will be automatically added to your Notion database.

Manual method

If you prefer to add it manually, create a new property in your Notion database:

• Name: sc_post_clicks
• Type: Number

Step 4: Improve the display with a formula (optional)

To make the display more visual and pleasant, you can create a formula property that styles the number of clicks.

Suggested formula:

 
if(sc_post_clicks > 0, "👆 " + format(sc_post_clicks), "👆 0")

This formula will display:

• "👆 5" if your post received 5 clicks
• "👆 0" if no clicks were recorded

To apply it:

1. Create a new property with the type "Formula"
2. Copy and paste the formula above
3. Name this property however you like (for example: "Link clicks")

Step 5: Show the metric in your Notion calendar

Once the property is added, you can show it in your Notion calendar to get an overview of your link performance.

1. Open your Notion calendar
2. Click on the view options
3. Add the sc_post_clicks property (or your formula) to the view
4. Place it ideally under your other metrics (impressions, likes, comments, etc.)

Tips to sort and analyze your data

To sort your posts:

1. Click on the sorting options of your Notion view
2. Select the sc_post_clicks property
3. Choose descending order to see the posts with the most clicks first
