Common questions

Here are some common questions:

How to save LinkedIn Post as "text block" instead of "callout block"?

By default, the extension saves your LinkedIn 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 LinkedIn post, the content will be saved as a text 🤩!

Does it support LinkedIn videos?

• The extension does not extract LinkedIn videos at the moment. Currently, if you save a video, it will embed an image preview and a link to the video post.
