If you don't find the database or page you want in the list, enter some text in the search bar to find it.
It will return you to the previous screen where you can manage fields. Click "Add new Field" to add, or click on an existing field to remove/replace it.
Add new Field
You can add New Field by clicking on the Add New Field button
in our case, I'll remove the "template" and "Content Image" fields, and add a custom-made "Type" field with a default value of "LinkedIn Post".
Finally, click on “Save & Go Back” at the bottom of the popup
Ok now we configured our form, let’s save LinkedIn posts to Notion.

Go to LinkedIn, and scroll through your feed to find a post you would like to save

Alternatively, you can open the extension by using the shortcut ⌥+⇧+E on Mac or ctrl+⇧+E on Windows. You can also right clicking anywhere on the page, click on Save to Notion > “Save Page to Notion”
This will open the extension and the form you just created. You’ll see a preview of the LinkedIn post in the “Content” field.

Common questions
Here are some common questions:
How to save LinkedIn Post as "text block" instead of "callout block"?
By default, the extension saves your LinkedIn as a "callout block." However, you might prefer to save them as simple text blocks, especially if you want to preview them in your Gallery Database or make it easier for Notion AI to analyze.
To save them as a text block, go back to the Home of the extension and click on the "Settings" icon.
Click on the option “Embedded Post Format” and change the value from “Callout block” to “Text Block”.
Now next time you save an LinkedIn post, the content will be saved as a text 🤩!

Yes, it does! The extension supports saving Carousel posts. Your browser might ask for extra permission the first time you try to save a Carousel post. Just click on "Allow" to make it work.
