This post is for Chrome users. However, the extension is also available on both Safari and Firefox, and you can follow still this tutorial.
Click on the extension icon in the top right corner of your browser.
Click on “Add a Form”
💡
If you're not logged into Notion in the same browser, the extension will prompt you to log in.
Click on “Select a Page or Database” and choose the Database or Page where you want to save your emails.
For example, I use my database “Second Brain” to store all the information I want to keep for reference.
💡
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 removed the "Template" and "Content Image" fields, and added a custom "Category" field to organize my second brain. This is optional and up to you.
Finally, click on “Save & Go Back” at the bottom of the popup
Ok now we configured our form, let’s save Threads to Notion. 😃
Step 3: Saving Threads to Notion
Go to x.com, and scroll through your feed to find a thread you would like to save. then Click on the Thread
Open the extension by clicking on its icon on top right corner
💡
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 Thread post in the “Content” field.
⚠️
The first time you use the extension with Twitter, it might take a few seconds for the thread to load. This is expected. After that, it will load faster.
(Optional) You can also fill in other properties. I added the tag Business to my “Category” field.
You can then click on Save Page. This will save the page to Notion and take a few seconds.
The page is now saved in your Notion. Click on "Open Page in Notion" to see it.
Finally, in your Notion, you can see a new page has been created and filled with the thread. Well done! 🤩
Common questions
Here are some common questions:
How to save Thread Post as "text block" instead of "callout block"?
By default, the extension saves tweets 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 thread, the content will be saved as a text 🤩!
