You need to create a Folder Bookmark in Toolbox Pro’s Settings first.
So: open Toolbox Pro → Settings → Folder Bookmarks → tap the + in the upper right → tap Choose → select the folder of your Obsidian vault.

Yeah, I already done that so I don’t understand. Plus, other snippet (like create a snippet) work…
After you’ve created the Folder Bookmark in the Toolbox Pro app, you have to edit the Toolbox Pro actions in the Get CSS Snippet shortcut to select the newly created Folder Bookmark.
Edit the "List contents of " and “Get files in at Text” actions. Change to your new Folder Bookmark.
I created a thread for this one, because it’s a little more involved:
Another small script for 1Writer, it takes Text or a URL as input and adds it with footnote style to my inbox file along with the current date and a small text.
The footnote link gets created from the current date and time. It seemed to me the most robust way.
Looks like this:

Super simple shortcut to quickly capture ideas into an Inbox -
I wanted to capture ideas as soon as I have them, with as little friction as possible. I usually always have my phone, and now using this shortcut I can jump out of the shower with a thought, jot it down, and then it’s captured for when I have time to process it, write more about it, etc.
The shortcut uses/needs currently:
Possible future improvements:
use the possible future share sheet extension if available
prompt for a clearer title to append to the UID?
automatically append a #idea tag?
prompt for specific tags? Make it so I don’t forget to attach a relevant tag, other than #idea.
This would allow me to use Dataview plugin to prompt my in my Daily Notes if I have any Inbox ideas that haven’t been addressed
alternatively, type these up as tasks [ ] each, and use Tasks plugin with #idea tag to see if I’ve left anything unprocessed.
Thoughts, comments, and suggestions welcome!
This is a great shortcut.
I’ve tried to generate a Markdown web clipper by combining this and another Shortcut, but like hell if I can get it to work!
Has anyone successfully delivered a shortcut that does the following?
I should have added – I’m using the Obsidian iOS beta and would prefer not to use 1Writer.
I’m new to Obsidian and love how with Shortcuts ToolBox Pro, I can create new scans, notes, and web clippings, ask where to store everything, and then have the file open in Obsidian. My most complex shortcut creates a scan in ToolBox Pro, changes the quality to a smaller file size in, saves the image to the Shortcuts temp folder, asks for a title of the doc, creates a new doc with the date and title, saves to temp, asks where I want the note, Toolbox Pro copies the note to the proper folder in Obsidian and files the pic in attachments, the temp files get deleted, and then the note title is turned into an x-callback URL to open the note in Obsidian. The one hiccup I’ve encountered is that it in most of my shortcuts like this, I need to open Obsidian to index the note, then open shortcuts to finish the script, and then launch the x-callback command. I tried a timeout timer instead of returning to shortcuts, but it didn’t work and this way is faster. The back and forth between the apps is all in the shortcut, so I just have to watch.
I made a super simple Shortcut that takes what is on your clipboard, sets the name of the file to the current date in yyyyMMdd format, and adds it to my Inbox folder. I pair this shortcut with Drafts. I have an action in Drafts that takes the text and adds it to my clipboard and then runs this shortcut. This shortcut does utilize Toolbox Pro so you have to setup the Bookmarked Folder in Toolbox Pro prior to using the shortcut.
Thanks! Now I’m trying to figure out how I can append to a note in my Inbox folder that I make on a certain day with this shortcut because I noticed when I run it multiple times throughout the day I get multiple notes with the same document title (ie 20210605, 20210605 1, 20210605 2, etc). Would be nice to have just one or maybe I could change the naming convention.
Will ask for:
Requires Advanced URI plugin
Feedback welcome.
So here is another simple shortcut I put together. It takes whatever is on your clipboard, asks you for input (which will become the title of the document and whatever is on your clipboard will become the body of the document), and saves it to a bookmarked folder using Toolbox Pro. Currently, I have mine saved to an Inbox folder.
Could you share your shortcuts? pls
It doesnt append url only write title
@ankushg This looks useful, but I don’t understand it. Can you provide instructions for how to use this meta-shortcut, or an example of a shortcut that uses it?
I can’t share the shortcuts because they contain too much private info and relate to my unique setup, but I’ll explain them.
Shortcut I
Shortcut II
Inspired by the shortcuts shared in this post, I created a shortcut that works in the following steps:
title
, then the final note title/filename would be something like title - 202106181457
202106181457
.Tag Test
would become #TagText
.#
when typing tags.> Clipboard content.
For the shortcut above to work, no third-party apps or Obsidian plugins are required, and the Obsidian URI is used to create the new note. The syntax is like obsidian://new?vault=my%20vault&name=my%20note
, as noted here: Using obsidian URI.
Also, all the text input (including the old clipboard content, if selected) would be copied to the new clipboard, in case of text loss that may be caused by shortcut running failure.
I find the insertion of note links very useful for organizing these (inbox) notes. For instance, I may select two note links like [[Inbox]]
and [[Book]]
for some (inbox) notes. Then I can use the plugin dataview
to show all (inbox) notes that contains the link [[Book]]
and/or [[Inbox]]
when improving/organizing these notes on PC.
Hi! This is my “webclipper”. It doesn’t set the date to the zettelkasten format, but I guess that it’s not hard to do.
What it does
Requires Advanced URI plugin and the free features of Toolbox pro.
Any comments or suggestions are welcomed.

Is there a way to append to a specific note in my vault or to my Daily Note?
