Schedule the First Comment on Your LinkedIn Posts with Notion

Why Use First Comments on LinkedIn?

LinkedIn's algorithm decreases the reach of posts with external links in order to keep users on the platform. Posts containing external links often suffer from reduced visibility, leading to lower engagement rates. The best alternative is to share external links in the comments rather than in the post body itself.

The LinkedIn algorithm treats domain names as external links. To avoid this in the post body, you can break the link by adding spaces between the dot and words (like "Scheduled . fr") or putting the domain name in parenthesis (like "Scheduled(.fr)").

How to Set Up First Comments with Scheduled

Compared to other social media tools, with Scheduled, you can automatically publish the first comment on your LinkedIn posts. To share external links in comments with Scheduled and Notion, you must add a new property to your Notion database:

• Property name: sc_first_comment
• Property type: Text

For each piece of content on Notion with the sc_first_comment property filled, a first comment will be automatically posted on LinkedIn when the post is published.

This allows Scheduled to automatically publish your content and first comment on LinkedIn, making it easy to share external links without negatively impacting your post reach.
