The annoying part is not saving a useful LinkedIn post. It is finding that post again when your research, client brief, or draft already lives in Notion. Copying the text, author, link, and media by hand works twice. It does not work as a habit.
A Notion sync closes that gap. LinkedMash imports the saved post, then creates a page in the Notion database you connect. New saves continue to arrive without another export.
Each saved post needs room for notes, research, a brief, or a draft. If you mainly need rows to sort and calculate, Google Sheets or Airtable is usually the cleaner destination.
What LinkedMash creates in Notion
The LinkedMash template is not an empty database. Its required properties match the sync: Post, Author, Post Link, Tags, App Imported Time, and Post Created At, plus internal IDs used to keep the connection reliable. The page body holds the full post and available media.
- Post uses the first line as the page title, so the database remains scannable.
- Author links back to the LinkedIn profile, while Post Link opens the original post and its comments.
- Tags carries the labels already applied in LinkedMash.
- App Imported Time and Post Created At are different. One records when LinkedMash imported it; the other records when the author published it.
- Images, a video URL, or a document URL can appear as content inside the page when that media is available.
Open the live LinkedMash Notion sample to inspect the database views, properties, authors, tags, dates, and original LinkedIn links.
Connect LinkedIn saved posts to Notion
- 1
Import your saved posts with the LinkedMash browser extension. The Notion pages are created from this imported library, not fetched by Notion from LinkedIn.
Finish the import before creating the sync. - 2
Open [Notion Sync](/integrations/sync/notion) and start the connection. In Notion, choose Use a template provided by the developer so the destination has the properties LinkedMash writes.
Authorize the template through Notion instead of copying tokens or passwords. - 3
Choose the workspace and database that should receive the posts. Keep the required synced properties, then add your own views and workflow columns beside them.
The database can hold your existing imported history before new saves begin arriving. - 4
Return to LinkedMash and let the first sync run. After that, new matching saves are added in the background. Use the integration page to refresh, reconnect, or change the connected database.
The connected screen confirms where posts are going and when the recipe last ran.
Make it a working research database
The destination is useful only when work happens on the other side. Add your own Status, Why I saved this, and Project properties. LinkedMash will keep writing its required fields, while those columns hold your judgement.
- Content research: group by Author, then write the angle you would borrow without copying the post.
- Client research: add a Project relation and send only relevant posts into each client view.
- Team reading queue: use Status values such as Inbox, Discuss, Used, and Archive.
- Idea development: turn the page body into notes or a draft while retaining the source link.
What stays attached to each saved post
- Readable post text lives in the page body, instead of forcing you back to a bookmark URL to remember why you saved it.
- Author and original LinkedIn links remain clickable, so you can revisit the profile, post, comments, or article source.
- LinkedMash labels become Notion tags, which makes topic, client, campaign, and format views possible immediately.
- Images, video references, document links, and article links stay with the page when LinkedMash can retrieve them from the saved post.
- Published and imported dates remain separate, so you can distinguish when the author posted from when you added it to your library.
Filter by author, label, or keyword
A recipe prevents a useful Notion workspace becoming another unfiltered dump. Send one author to a competitor database, one label to a client database, or one keyword cluster to a research database. Prefix a keyword with ! to exclude it.
Limits to understand before you connect
- This is a continuous destination sync, not a Notion backup file. Keep a CSV, JSON, or PDF snapshot if you also need a portable copy.
- Renaming or deleting required template properties can stop the sync. Add your own properties alongside them instead.
- Media is linked or embedded from the URLs available in the imported post. A source that later blocks access can affect how that media renders.
- LinkedMash can write the saved-post record, but it cannot decide your Status, note, or research conclusion for you.
The sync removes the filing work. Your database still needs a reason for each post to be there.
Import your saved posts, authorize the correct Notion database, and let new LinkedIn saves file themselves with their source context intact. You can also preview the live sample database first.
Set up Notion syncFrequently asked questions
Is the Notion sync a one-time export?
No, it is continuous. Connect Notion once, pick a database, and every new LinkedIn post you save flows in automatically in the background.
Does it bring across images and video?
The page includes the post text, author and original link. When a supported media URL is available, the page body adds the image, video URL or document URL as embedded content.
Can I sync only some of my saved posts?
Yes, with a filter recipe. Match on author, label or keyword, and exclude a term by prefixing it with an exclamation mark. Several recipes can run side by side.
What if my team does not use Notion?
Google Sheets, Airtable and Miro have their own native syncs, and the whole library also downloads as CSV, JSON or PDF.
Can I import the LinkedIn saved posts I already have?
Yes. Import the existing library with the LinkedMash extension before connecting Notion. The initial sync can populate the database from that history, then future saves continue to arrive.
Which Notion properties does LinkedMash create?
The database includes the post title and readable body, author, original post link, LinkedMash labels as tags, published date, import date, and internal identifiers used by the sync. Available images, video references, documents, and article links remain with the page.
Can I add my own Notion views and properties?
Yes. Keep the required LinkedMash properties intact, then add Status, Project, Notes, Owner, relations, formulas, and any views your workflow needs.
Can I preview a Notion database before connecting?
Yes. The destination page links to a live LinkedMash Notion sample showing synced titles, authors, tags, dates, and source links.
