Who is this for?

If you regularly collect videos and need to turn them into posts, this saves time every day:

• Content creators & social media managers
• Founders / marketers who repurpose content
• Knowledge workers who capture ideas in Notion
• Agencies doing multi-channel content ops

---

What it does (in plain English)

1. You paste a TikTok URL into a Notion table and set Status = NEW
2. Run the Make scenario (or schedule it)
3. The workflow fetches the transcript (internal step), then uses OpenAI to generate:
   • a LinkedIn draft
   • an X thread
4. The results are saved back to your Notion row, and the status becomes DONE
5. You review and publish when ready

Note: The clean transcript is an internal processing step and is not written back to Notion by this template.

---

Outputs saved to Notion

Each processed row will have:

• LinkedIn Draft (ready to copy/paste)
• X Thread (7–10 tweets format, ready to post)
• Status (NEW → PROCESSING → DONE / ERROR)
• Error message (only if something fails)

---

Requirements

You’ll need:

• A Make.com account
• A Notion workspace + integration connection in Make
• An Apify account (for the TikTok transcript actor)
• An OpenAI API key (for content generation)

---

Notion Database Setup (Required)

Create a Notion database (Table view) with the following properties.

The template expects this structure so it can run without extra edits.

Required properties

Property name	Type	Example / Notes
Title	Title	Optional, e.g. “Intro to GenAI (TikTok)”
video_url	URL	TikTok video link
status	Select	Must include: NEW, PROCESSING, DONE, ERROR
linkedin_draft	Text (or Rich text)	Output field
x_thread	Text (or Rich text)	Output field
error_message	Text (or Rich text)	Filled when error happens

Optional (recommended) properties

Property name	Type	Why it helps
Source	Select	e.g. TikTok / Instagram (future)
Author	Text	Store creator name/handle if you want
Topic	Multi-select	Organize your content library
Created time	Created time	Useful for sorting & tracking

Important:

• Your status select options must match exact spelling used in the scenario (NEW/PROCESSING/DONE/ERROR).

How to use

1) Import the Make template

Open the template link and create your own scenario: https://us2.make.com/templates/18386-turn-video-urls-into-linkedin-posts-x-threads-notion-apify-openai

2) Connect accounts (one-time)

• Notion connection
• Apify connection
• OpenAI API key

3) Point the scenario to your Notion database

Select your database as the data source.

4) Run it

• Add a row in Notion with:
  • video_url = your TikTok link
  • status = NEW
• Run scenario (manual “Run once”) or enable scheduling
• Wait for status to become DONE
• Copy the generated drafts and publish

---

Customization ideas

You can easily tailor the outputs:

• Change tone (professional / casual / founder voice)
• Add your brand style guide / forbidden words
• Set tweet count (7–10) and character limits
• Add a “hook library” or CTA patterns
• Save extra outputs (summary, key takeaways, hashtags)

---

FAQ

Does this post automatically to LinkedIn or X?

No — it generates drafts and saves them to Notion. You review and publish.

Do I need subtitles or voiceover in the demo video?

Not required. Subtitles help a bit, but a short clean demo is usually enough.

What about other platforms?

This version supports TikTok URLs. If you need Instagram / YouTube next, we’ll extend the workflow.

---

Troubleshooting

• If status becomes ERROR, check Error Message in Notion.
• Verify the TikTok URL is reachable and public.
• Confirm your Apify/OpenAI credentials are valid.
• If your Notion properties don’t match, remap them in Make.
