Your First Project

Let's build your first automation! We'll create a simple system that takes content from Notion and automatically posts it to social media. You'll be amazed how easy this is.

What We're Building

A content calendar in Notion that automatically posts to Twitter and LinkedIn when you change a status to "Ready". No code, no servers, just pure automation magic.

Step 1: Set Up Your Notion Database

First, create a new database in Notion with these columns:

Step 2: Get Your Missinglettr API Key

1. Go to Missinglettr Console
2. Click "Create New Key"
3. Name it "Notion Automation"
4. Copy your API key (starts with ml_live_)
5. Create a workspace if you don't have one
6. Connect your Twitter and LinkedIn accounts

Step 3: Create the Zapier Automation

Now let's connect everything together. We'll use a prompt to help AI guide us:

You are a Zapier automation expert. I need help creating a Zap that:

1. Triggers when a Notion database item status changes to "Ready"
2. Sends the post content to Missinglettr API to schedule a post
3. Updates the Notion status to "Posted" after successful posting

My Notion database has these fields:
- Post Title (title)
- Content (text)
- Image URL (url)
- Platforms (multi-select: Twitter, LinkedIn)
- Status (select: Draft, Ready, Posted)

My Missinglettr API key is: [YOUR_KEY]
My workspace ID is: [YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID]

Please provide step-by-step Zapier configuration instructions, including:
- Exact trigger settings
- All actions I need
- How to map Notion fields to API fields
- The exact webhook URL and payload format

Break it down into simple steps I can follow.

Step 4: Configure the Zap (Quick Version)

If you want to do it yourself, here's the configuration:

Trigger: Notion - Updated Database Item

• Database: Your content calendar
• Trigger field: Status
• Trigger value: Ready

Action 1: Webhooks - POST Request

URL: https://api.missinglettr-api.com/v1/workspaces/YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID/posts/

Method: POST

Headers:
  Authorization: Api-Key YOUR_API_KEY
  Content-Type: application/json

Body (JSON):
{
  "text": {{Content}},
  "platforms": {{Platforms}},
  "media_urls": [{{Image URL}}],
  "publish_now": false,
  "schedule_type": "optimized"
}

Action 2: Notion - Update Database Item

• Database: Your content calendar
• Record: (Use the trigger record)
• Status: Posted

Step 5: Test It!

1. Add a new item to your Notion database
2. Fill in the content, image URL, and select platforms
3. Change status from "Draft" to "Ready"
4. Watch the magic happen! ✨
