Shortcuts
Shortcuts provide workflows that integrate multiple actions from several apps. An automatic Daily Startup shortcut can create an Obsidian daily note with a template, and include weather forecast, upcoming calendar events, and today’s to-do tasks; other shortcuts can capture ideas, thoughts, or health logs throughout the day.
See Shortcuts for more…
Actions for Obsidian
The Actions for Obsidian app for macOS and iOS is the magic glue that integrates Obsidian with Shortcuts in automation workflows. I have created a collection of web pages on Actions for Obsidian with videos, downloads, and screenshots.
They are a powerful combination together. I will provide more about Actions for Obsidian and Shortcuts, sharing my experience and usage in my environment.
