1. Why Export Twitter Bookmarks to Notion?

Twitter bookmarks are a great way to save content for later, but they have limitations. As your list grows, it becomes more challenging to organize bookmarks directly on Twitter. Moreover, Twitter’s native bookmarking tool doesn’t offer advanced options like tagging or annotating content—features that tools like Dewey and Notion excel at.

Benefits of Exporting Twitter Bookmarks to Notion:

- Improved Organization: Notion allows you to categorize and tag your bookmarks, creating a streamlined knowledge hub.

- Enhanced Searchability: With Notion’s search features, you can easily find a saved article, thread, or video among hundreds of bookmarks.

- Multi-Platform Integration: Notion is a powerful tool that integrates well with other platforms, making it ideal for curating content from multiple sources.

- Customizable Workflows: You can organize bookmarks into projects, databases, or pages based on your goals or current needs.

3. Step-by-Step Guide: How to Export Twitter Bookmarks to Notion with Dewey

Here’s how to easily export your Twitter bookmarks to Notion using Dewey:

Step 1: Sign Up for Dewey

Start by signing up for a Dewey account. You can opt for either a free or premium plan, depending on your bookmarking needs. The free plan allows basic bookmarking functions, while the premium plan offers enhanced features such as batch exporting and more in-depth categorization.

Step 2: Connect Your Twitter Account

Once signed in, connect your Twitter (X) account to Dewey. This will allow Dewey to access your Twitter bookmarks. Follow the prompts to authorize Dewey's access.

Step 3: Organize and Tag Your Bookmarks in Dewey

Dewey allows you to organize your bookmarks with tags and categories before exporting them to Notion. For example:

- Categories: You might categorize bookmarks under headings like "Tech News," "Content Ideas," or "Marketing Tips."

- Tags: Use specific tags to further identify content, such as #AI, #Productivity, or #SocialMediaTips.

Step 4: Export to Notion

Once your bookmarks are organized in Dewey, you can export them directly to Notion with a few clicks. Here’s how:

- Navigate to the Integrations which is found under Settings.

- Select Enable next to Notion as your export destination.

- Follow the prompts to connect your Notion account to Dewey.

- Be sure to select ‘Use Default Template’

- Your bookmarks will be saved on a Notion database called ‘Dewey Sync’. Do not change or alter this database.

- From here you can simply create new databases anywhere in Notion and connect them to this ‘Dewey Sync’ database

Dewey will export your bookmarks to Notion in a well-organized format, complete with your selected categories and tags. And it will happen automatically as you continue to bookmark content.

Step 5: Verify the Export

Head over to Notion to verify that your bookmarks have been exported correctly. Each bookmark should appear as a separate entry in the database, with tags and categories intact.

4. Alternative Methods for Organizing Twitter Bookmarks in Notion

While Dewey is an excellent tool for exporting bookmarks, some users may prefer manual methods or alternative tools. Here are a few other ways to get your Twitter bookmarks into Notion:

Manual Copy and Paste

This method involves manually copying the URL of each bookmarked tweet and pasting it into Notion. While labor-intensive, this method gives you full control over how each bookmark is organized.

Browser Extensions

Some browser extensions, like Save to Notion, allow you to save Twitter bookmarks directly into Notion as you browse. While not as streamlined as Dewey, it’s a viable option for light users who don’t need extensive bookmark management features.

Using Zapier to Automate the Process

For users familiar with automation tools, you can set up a workflow in Zapier that automatically saves your Twitter bookmarks to Notion each time you add a new bookmark. This method requires some setup but can be effective once in place.

5. How to Organize and Tag Bookmarks Once in Notion

After exporting your Twitter bookmarks to Notion, organizing them effectively is crucial. Here are a few strategies to maximize the utility of your bookmarks:

Go To The Dewey Sync Database

Go to the dedicated Dewey Sync database in Notion. Here you can easily filter, search, and categorize your bookmarks.

Add Tags and Categories

Notion allows you to tag and categorize each bookmark. But you can also use the tags you created in Dewey as they transfer over to Notion during the sync process. One way we’ve seen users tag and categorize bookmarks is by topic, project, or priority. For example:

- Categories: "Articles," "Videos," "Research Papers."

- Tags: Use relevant keywords such as #Productivity, #Marketing, or #AI to make it easier to filter and search for specific topics.

Sort by Tweet Date

Keep track of when you added each bookmark by using the Tweet Date field in your Notion database. This will help you sort bookmarks chronologically, making it easier to find recent content.

Add Notes or Highlights

For each bookmark, add a brief note or highlight key takeaways. This turns your Notion workspace into a personalized knowledge hub. Additionally, any comments or notes you added inside Dewey get transferred over in a column called ‘Comments’.

7. Troubleshooting Common Issues

While exporting bookmarks to Notion is usually smooth, there are some common issues users might face:

1. Missing Bookmarks After Export

If some bookmarks don’t appear in Notion, ensure that Dewey has proper access to your Twitter bookmarks. Try refreshing the connection between Twitter and Dewey, then attempt the export again. As long as the Notion template is set to Default during the first sync, everything should flow smoothly.

2. Incorrect Tagging or Categorization (continued)

If bookmarks don’t carry over the correct tags or categories, double-check how you've organized them in Dewey before exporting. Ensure all tags and categories are properly assigned in Dewey to avoid any discrepancies once the data is in Notion. Again, these should cross over 1:1 without any changes as long as Default Template was selected during the first sync.

3. Export Stalls or Fails

If the export process seems to stall or fail, it might be due to browser issues or API rate limits from Twitter. Try refreshing the browser or restarting the export. If the issue persists, contact Dewey support for further troubleshooting.

8. Advanced Tips and Tricks for Managing Twitter Bookmarks in Notion

Once your bookmarks are in Notion, there are several advanced tips and tricks you can use to maximize their utility:

1. Create Smart Filters

Use Notion’s filter options to create smart views of your bookmarks. For example, create a filter that only shows bookmarks tagged as #AI or a view that highlights bookmarks added in the last 30 days. This allows you to create dynamic views that update automatically based on your criteria.

2. Use Relations and Rollups

For users managing large projects, consider using relations and rollups in Notion to link your bookmarks to related projects or tasks. For instance, link a Twitter bookmark to a content calendar task, so you always know where your inspiration came from.

3. Automate with Notion Integrations

Beyond Dewey, you can use Notion’s API to create integrations with other tools like Google Sheets or Slack. This can automate tasks like pulling bookmark data into spreadsheets for further analysis or sending reminders in Slack when new bookmarks are added to a certain category.
