Drafts Directory: Save Idea to Workflowy

Action

Posted by agiletortoise, Last update 9 months ago

This action creates a new bullet in Workflowy using the first line of the draft as the text. The action integrates with their undocumented API, and is a demo based on the Shortcuts version shared by the Workflowy team.

To use the action, you will need to piece of information:

Workflowy API Key: Generate at Workflowy
URL of the Workflowy item where you want the new bullet added

(See their video demo linked above for details).

Edit this action and set your API key as the template value for the first “Define Template Tag” step, and the URL of the Workflowy item as the template for the second step. If you want to have multiple actions targeting different nodes in Workflowy, you can duplicate this action and change the value in second “workflowy-node-url” template step.
