From TikTok link → LinkedIn draft + X thread in minutes (Notion + Apify + OpenAI template)

Hey Makers :waving_hand:
I just published a Make template that turns a TikTok video URL into ready-to-publish draft content — a LinkedIn post and an X (Twitter) thread — and saves the drafts back into Notion.

If you’re a creator, marketer, founder, or knowledge worker who constantly bookmarks videos but never turns them into posts… this is built for that daily workflow.

What you get (the finished output)

When you add a TikTok URL into Notion and set the status to NEW, the scenario generates:

  • :white_check_mark: LinkedIn draft (copy-paste ready)
  • :white_check_mark: X thread draft (structured, skimmable)

Then it writes the results back into your Notion database so you can review, edit, and publish.

Note: The workflow may create a “clean transcript” internally to improve quality, but it is NOT written back to Notion. Only the final drafts/results are saved.


Who this is for (high-frequency use cases)

  • Creators / solopreneurs repurposing video ideas into posts
  • Growth / marketing / community managers turning video research into drafts
  • Founders / operators capturing insights and sharing them on LinkedIn/X
  • Researchers / product folks saving takeaways and turning them into publishable notes

Current support (and what’s next)

Right now, the template supports TikTok video URLs.
If people find this useful, I’m planning to expand support to more video platforms (e.g., Instagram/Reels, YouTube, etc.).


Setup (so you can run it immediately)

1) Create a Notion database (Table) with these required properties

Create a Notion database and add the following properties with the exact types:

Required

  1. Name (Title) — e.g. “Video”
  2. video_url (URL) — paste the TikTok URL here
  3. status (Select) — must include these options:
    • NEW
    • PROCESSING
    • DONE
    • ERROR
  4. linkedin_draft (Text / Rich text) — LinkedIn draft will be saved here
  5. x_thread (Text / Rich text) — X thread draft will be saved here
  6. error_message (Text / Rich text) — populated only when something fails

Optional (recommended)

  1. created_at (Date) — for tracking
  2. source (Select) — e.g. “TikTok”
  3. notes (Text) — your own comments

:white_check_mark: Tip: Start minimal. You can always add more fields later.


2) Connect your accounts in Make

You’ll need:

  • Notion connection (OAuth)
  • Apify connection (OAuth)
  • OpenAI connection (API Key required)

3) How to use (daily workflow)

  1. Add a new row in Notion
  2. Paste a TikTok link into video_url
  3. Set status = NEW
  4. Wait for it to finish
  5. Review drafts in Notion and publish when ready :rocket:

Feedback / requests

If you try it, I’d love feedback on:

  • Draft quality (tone/format)
  • Output preference (more concise vs. more opinionated)
  • Which platform you want next (Instagram / YouTube / etc.)

Happy to iterate based on real use cases :raising_hands:
