# 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](https://help.scheduled.so/en/article/how-to-enable-link-tracking-for-your-posts-18db4lp/).

## 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

| Once tracking is enabled, all links in your future posts will automatically be replaced with shortened links so Scheduled can count the clicks.

## 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.)

![Make the property visible from your calendar](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/3/6/6/b/366b1546b192e200/capture-decran-2025-11-04-a-17_bks5t4.png =873xauto)

## Tips to sort and analyze your data

|| ⚠️ **Important:** Sorting does not work on formula-type properties. If you want to sort your posts by number of clicks (from the best-performing to the least-performing), you need to sort using the **sc_post_clicks** property (number) and not your formula.

**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

## Key takeaways

✅ Turn on link tracking on all your social connections in Scheduled  
✅ Links are automatically replaced with shortened links for tracking  
✅ Add the **sc_post_clicks** property to your Notion database to track clicks  
✅ Use a formula to make the data display more visual  
✅ Always sort on the number property (sc_post_clicks), not on the formula
