Managing social media across multiple platforms can be time-consuming for entrepreneurs, creators, and busy professionals. This guide will show you how to fully automate your social media workflow using Notis, Notion and NotionSocial

With this setup, you'll be able to create and schedule social media posts across multiple platforms with just your voice, right from WhatsApp, Telegram, or email.

Benefits of This Automation

Create content with voice commands from anywhere

Manage all your social platforms from a single Notion database

Schedule posts in advance without platform-hopping

Get performance analytics directly in Notion

Use those as a feedback loop to help Notis create better content

Save hours of manual work each week

Step 1: Setting Up NotionSocial

Create Your NotionSocial Account

Go to notionsocial.app and sign up for an account

Choose a plan based on how many social media accounts you need to connect (plans start at $15/month)

Connect NotionSocial to Notion

Click "Duplicate Template" to add the NotionSocial template to your Notion workspace

Grant NotionSocial permission to access this template in your Notion workspace

Connect your database by selecting the Posts database you just duplicated

Connect Your Social Media Accounts

In the NotionSocial dashboard, click on "Add Social Account"

Connect the platforms you use (NotionSocial supports Twitter/X, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, Threads, BlueSky, TikTok, and Facebook)

Follow the authentication process for each platform

Step 2: Connecting Notis to Your Setup

Add NotionSocial Database to Notis

Make sure to give access to your NotionSocial database to Notis. To do so, follow our instructions to add new databases to Notis

Configure Notis Instructions (Optional)

For advanced functionality, you can add specific instructions to the database description in Notion. Follow this guide to learn more.

For every new post request:
1. Query the database for the most performing posts
2. Write in the same tone of voice as successful posts
3. If the user doesn't provide a specific pitch, get inspired by best-performing posts

Step 3: Creating Posts with Voice Commands

Basic Post Creation

You can now create posts using voice commands through Notis on WhatsApp, Telegram, or email. For example:

Hey Notis, can you create a new post for tomorrow at noon where the caption should say something like 'I finally managed to post on all social media directly from Notis' and publish this on my X account?

Advanced Features

You can also:

Request image generation: "Can you also generate an image that would go with this post?"

Edit images: "Can you modify this image to show [specific request]?"

Cross-post with variations: "Create a new entry for each of my social media platforms, slightly change the caption so it's not a copy-paste, but keep the same spirit."

Tips for Optimization

Best Practices

Include your brand kit information in the database description for consistent branding

Create a separate page with your tone of voice guidelines for Notis to reference

Store your best-performing posts in the database as reference points

Schedule posts in batches for the week to maintain consistency

Troubleshooting

If posts aren't showing up in NotionSocial, remember it syncs every 5 minutes

To delete a scheduled post, change its status to something other than "Done" or delete the page

If media files aren't uploading, check the file size limitations for each platform
