The Drafts action directory automatically inserts its own URL at the beginning of the markdown link, so you had to manually remove it after copying the shortcut URL. Fixed it.

Now, when the processing of Shortcuts app is completed, the processing automatically returns to Drafts.

The Drafts action directory automatically inserts its own URL at the beginning of the link, so I replaced the shortcut URL with plaintext instead of the link format.

Now, when Shortcuts finishes processing, it will return to Drafts.

  2. From them, get the image files saved in the Previews folder of Drafts (iCloud Drive / Drafts / Library / Previews /).
  3. Copy them to the Obsidian assets folder (iCloud Drive / Obsidian / {Vault folder} / assets or (in this iPhone | in this iPad) / Obsidian / {Vault folder} / assets).
