The $0 One-Click Content Calendar System Using Tally → Notion Automation

The best content ideas happen when you are:

In the shower.

Walking the dog.

Driving.

They never happen when you are sitting at your desk staring at Notion.

The problem is, opening the Notion mobile app is slow. By the time it loads, the idea is gone.

You need a Capture System that is as fast as a thought.

The Solution: The "Idea Button"

We will create a simple form (that looks like an app) on your phone home screen.

You tap it, type the idea, hit submit.

It instantly appears in your Notion Content Calendar, tagged and ready.

Step 1: The Form (Tally.so)

Go to Tally.so (it's free).

Create a form called "Content Idea".

Fields:

* Idea: (Long Text)

* Platform: (Dropdown: LinkedIn, Twitter, Blog)

* Urgency: (1-5 Rating)

Pro Tip: Save this form to your phone's home screen. It will look just like an app icon.

Step 2: The Automation (Make.com)

* Trigger: Tally > Watch New Responses.

* Action: Notion > Create Database Item.

Step 3: The AI Brainstorm (Optional)

Let's make it smarter.

When you submit an idea like "Talk about SEO", you want the system to do the heavy lifting.

* Module: OpenAI > Create a Completion.

* Prompt:

> "I have a content idea: {{Idea}}.

> Platform: {{Platform}}.

>

> Please generate:

> 1. A catchy hook/headline.

> 2. An outline of 3 main points.

> 3. A call to action."

Step 4: The Notion Card

Map the AI output to the Notion page body.

* Name: {{Idea}}

* Status: "Idea"

* Platform: {{Platform}}

* Content: {{AI_Outline}}

Seeing this in action makes a huge difference. Once configured, the interface provides a clear visual confirmation that your automation is running smoothly, giving you peace of mind that the system is working as intended.

The Result

You are walking the dog. You think: "I should write about how to hire a VA."

Tap "Idea" icon.

Type "How to hire a VA".

Tap Submit.

When you get back to your desk, there is a card in Notion waiting for you.

It already has a headline: "The 3 Mistakes Everyone Makes When Hiring a VA".

It has an outline.

It is ready to write.

Conclusion

Friction kills creativity.

If it takes 10 clicks to save an idea, you won't save it.

If it takes 1 click, you will build a library of hundreds of ideas effortlessly.

Next Step: Create a Tally account. It takes 2 minutes.
