New Plugin: Auto Note Importer – Seamlessly turn Airtable records into Obsidian notes!

Share & showcase

Hi everyone! :wave:

I’m happy to share a plugin I’ve been using daily: Auto Note Importer.

If you ever wished you could automatically turn Airtable data into clean, structured Markdown notes inside your vault—this plugin does just that.

I got tired of copy-pasting my research summaries and project logs from Airtable into Obsidian. So I built a tool that does it for me (and hopefully now for you too!).


Quick Demo

Check out this short demo showing how it works:


Key Features

  • Airtable Integration
    Connect directly via your Personal Access Token and select a base/table.

  • Custom Templates
    Use any .md file with {{fieldName}} placeholders. Supports dot notation like {{Attachment.0.url}}, {{User.name}}, and more.

  • Organized Output
    Specify folders, filenames (from any field), and let the plugin auto-create missing directories.

  • Manual & Auto Sync
    Sync on demand or at a regular interval.

  • Duplicate Note Handling
    Specify a “primary field” to avoid creating the same note twice. Existing notes will be skipped or updated depending on your settings.

  • No coding required
    All setup is done through the plugin settings panel — just a few clicks.

Use Case

  • Save and organize YouTube summaries or research content from Airtable into Obsidian automatically

Planned

Currently Airtable-only, but more database sources (e.g. Notion, Supabase, custom APIs) are on the roadmap.

Installation

Install via BRAT or clone from GitHub:

Full instructions, example templates, and a quick setup demo are in the README.

If you give it a try, I’d love to hear your feedback — ideas, bug reports, or feature requests are all welcome :raised_hands:

Thanks for reading!
