Automatically move note to a folder

Help
1

I have a folder called WORK and inside I have a folder called INBOX.

When I add new notes, it goes to my vault’s ROOT. Can I make it so when I drag a note from ROOT to WORK, it automatically moves it to WORK/INBOX?

I want to have different rules for different folders, not just the WORK folder.

It’s not via drag&drop, but has some automation: farux/obsidian-auto-note-mover

I was searching for a post where they discussed a similar challenge, but instead, I found only this plugin. Give it a try.

Cheers, Marko :nerd_face:

Thank you.
I had that plugin installed, but that relies on Tags or Title.

I was able to make it work for now using that plugin and Keyboard Maestro:

  1. When I move a note to the WORK folder, Keyboard Maestro triggers a macro that appends the tag #move-to-work-inbox to the note.
  2. Now that the note has the tag, the plugin Auto Note Mover get’s triggered and moves the note to my WORK/INBOX folder
  3. When a new note is added to the WORK/INBOX folder, Keyboard Maestro triggers a second macro that reads the file, searches for the #move-to-work-inbox tag, and removes it.

Not the cleanest workflow, but it works for now. Hope someone can create this plugin in the future.
