These added Social Accounts can be linked and unlinked to multiple Notion Databases that you are going to add in the next step.

Now let’s connect a Notion database, If you do not already have one, create a database in Notion to store your social media content.

<aside> 📢

The Notion Database is where you'll create new pages to plan your posts. Notionsocial will automatically take the content from these pages and publish them. If you're using a template, make sure to connect the source database that stores all your posts.
