Thank you! I didn’t realize that it could work for entire vaults.

Oh I think I was misreading the original post and also left out info in my question – I am trying to do this on my laptop with Keyboard Maestro on the Mac OS rather than on iOS right now (though I eventually want to do this on iOS as well).
Is there a way to do this without the iOS shortcut?
Hey all, I recently posted a video where I go into how to set up this quick capture workflow. You can check it out here.
Thanks, this was a great gem to uncover as I try and implement the weekly review stage of my Second Brain/PARA setup!
I noticed that the archive/move script was a little slow, taking several seconds to open up the dialog for selecting a folder, breaking my flow. I checked the code and noticed it built a set of folders recursively.
I simplified the code for my use case, removing the archive folder path, and using the file explorer’s built in move dialog (which is much faster) and a callback to advance.
The resulting gist is Obsidian: Archive current file and then open next file in folder (Templater script) · GitHub
I’m sure it could be improved further if I understood the execution, variable scope, and callback model better, but this is good enough for me!

Thanks for this, very helpful! Will check it out.
I forgot to share Lumberjack here. It’s a plugin built to provide simple quick capture features, especially on mobile:
Hello Ryan and once again thank you for a wonderful plugin!
I was wondering whether it is possible to share something to the log shortcut from the share sheet? Like if I share a Safari-page or a URL and it automatically gets added to the new line.
It is not, but Obsidian’s new-ish built-in Share Sheet functionality should work for this, shouldn’t it?
Yes absolutely - it does. But you can’t choose the formatting like you could if it had been through Shortcuts. But works fine for now! I stick with Lumberjack! 
thanks again.

Hello!
First: I really like your Shortcut!
But instead of creating a new Fleeting Note, i tried to print your fleeting note directly into my Daily Note. I got the constantly changing path (/Daily/YYYY/MM-MMMM/YYYY-MM-DD-dddd.md) in your shortcut while using the Date-Variable, but the Fleeting not is not outputed there, instead an error message appears „File already exists“. Unfortunately, I‘m not that good with „shortcuts“-App so i dont know if and what i can do to output the text in my daily Note aufter all.
Yes i did. The altered Shortcut „finds“ my existing daily note, but instead of Posting the Text in it the „File already exists“ - Error occurs
I just found this Shortcut and it works fine for me… so: „Case closed“ 
Thank you!

Thanks for sharing - I am struggling with the iOS shortcut to get my notes into the right folder - they are going to the correct vault but when I add the folder name ‘filepath=Inbox’ it just appends ‘Inbox’ to the start of the note. Can you assist?
And one question - would you know how I can capture the webpage title as the name of the note?
I think filepath is meant to include the file name, too. It might help if you post the full URL you’re trying to use.
So I have made a shortcut functioning how I want it to but just need some help getting it into obsidian. It gets the webpage name and url, let’s me type a note, but I now want to get it to obsidian vault and specific folder. See image. Any help is really appreciated
You’ll want to build an Obsidian URL, pass it thru the Encode URLs action, then pass the result to the Open URLs action.
In my experience this doesn’t always work when Obsidian has been closed in the background, so I use the Launch App action to launch Obsidian right before opening the Obsidian URL.
Thanks. I have managed to get what I want using Toolbox https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/e3970048c6d340558ebeb17d3af78171

Out of curiosity, why did you use Toolbox for that? Shortcuts has actions for saving to files (which I didn’t think of earlier for some reason).
Like you I didn’t think of it! Have updated it https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/7a094c58a08a47928f4d69d37debf739
