Notes automations without coding

Closed Orchestration recipes move and tag Notes — Dictate→folder, PDF→Documents, weekly open tasks, capture→daily. No plugin JavaScript.

Before you start

  • Signed-in Hub account.
  • ORCHESTRATION_ENABLED on the API (ops) and Automations opt-in in Hub → Settings → Automations.
  • Notes sync enabled on at least one client.

Steps

  1. 1

    Open Hub → Settings → Automations and turn on account opt-in until Runtime is armed.

  2. 2

    Install a Notes pack: Dictate → Notes folder, PDF → Documents, Weekly open tasks, or Capture → daily note.

  3. 3

    Leave Preview first; switch the recipe to Auto when Recent runs look right.

  4. 4

    Dictate on Mac/Windows (chip when matched) or save a note with a PDF to exercise PDF inbox.

  5. 5

    Weekly digest: enable «Include me in the Notes weekly cron allowlist» under Automations, install Weekly open tasks / Stale pins, then ops POST /v1/cron/notes-weekly with use_allowlist=true (or emit notes.weekly dry-run).

  6. 6

    Capture → daily appends only if a note titled today's date (YYYY-MM-DD) already exists — otherwise soft skip.

  7. 7

    Also: Morning Inbox triage, Long note → Meetings hint, Stale pins reminder.

Common mistakes

  • Closed recipes only — no Notion-style marketplace or eval-in-editor.
  • Weekly cron allowlist is opt-in (notes_weekly_cron) — never silent fleet join.
  • Export pack is soft: notifies you to use Hub Notes export (no auto ZIP).
  • Rollback: Remove the pack or set recipe mode Off; master Automations toggle disables all.
