## FAQ

### How do I publish LinkedIn carousels from Notion?

Keep your content calendar as a Notion database and map each page's properties to the slides of a carousel template. When you add a page, this workflow renders a native PDF carousel, posts it to LinkedIn, and writes the post link back onto the Notion page so your calendar stays the record of truth.

### Does adding a page really trigger the post?

Yes. The workflow watches your Notion database for new pages. Each new page is the carousel, so there is no separate spreadsheet or upload step. Draft it in Notion and it goes out.

### Where does the post link end up?

Back on the same Notion page. After the carousel posts, the workflow writes the LinkedIn URL into the page, so your calendar shows what shipped and where without you copying links around.

### Can I hold a page as a draft first?

Yes. Only pages that meet your trigger conditions post, so you can keep works in progress in a different status and let the workflow act on the ones marked ready.

### Do all my carousels stay on brand?

Yes. Every carousel renders from the same template, so fonts, colors, and layout are identical from one page to the next no matter who drafted the copy.
