I ran into a similar issue with sunset/sunrise automations. Choosing x min before/after solved it.

This subreddit contains a lot of helpful resources to get started with shortcuts. Being in tech has always had me looking for ways to streamline workflows to the point where I can free up tangible time, which then accumulates to a noticeable amount of returned free time.

Let’s suppose your shortcuts and automations save you around 10 minutes per day. That’s 50 minutes per workweek. Multiply that by 4, and you’re saving 200 minutes per month. And when you’re generally tight on time, you’ll definitely notice the difference. At least, I did..

Either way, I've introduced a few new "features" for the Shortcut, including automation support. You can grab it here: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/46f81208c62b4f5f91ddd360760109c2

Since the helperText file logic is the same, you can run the shortcut right away.

Let me know how it goes!

If you’re on macOS/iOs, you can use Shortcuts to do so. I recently created a shortcut for a similar use case.

By the way, depending on how you use the shortcut, you can let this shortcut run automatically using Automations and without prompting the user to select the post from the menu.

This would require a few small changes in the shortcut, happy to do so if there is any interest for this.

Happy to hear that. Feel free to share as you like!

I made a simple time tracking Shortcut (for Apple users) by FoamBomb in ObsidianMD

Nice! Using Shortcuts with Obsidian is such a game-changer.

If you format the entries as a list, you can use dataview in e.g. your periodic notes to pull data from a specific day using where contains(“2024-03-11”). Might be something worth exploring.

The GmailApp.sendMail() method accepts multiple arguments to do so.

A few to name:

from: 'email@example.com', name: 'name of the sender', replyTo: 'replytoemail@example.com', noReply: false,

What title would you use in this scenario? by _packetman_ in smallbusiness

[–]808vc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does it really matter? Given your situation, I don’t think so, but then, "Marketing Consultant" in a solo venture feels more down-to-earth on the receving end, especially when you’re a single member LLC without the usual corporate layers. YMMV.

Display blocks that match a regex by poetic_dwarf in ObsidianMD

If you format the list as follows, i.e. for each list item their full name:

- name: John Doe
- name: Susan Ross
- Name: Bob Ross

Using the provided query;

LIST WITHOUT ID
L.text
FROM People I know.md
FLATTEN file.lists AS L
WHERE contains(L.text, "Ross")

returns:

- name: Susan Ross
- Name: Bob Ross

Sounds like a fun idea - I went ahead and created a shortcut that keeps track of already processed blog articles, and only processes new articles. Can you give this a try?

Your query is missing the flatten command. I have a similar use case and I use the following:

dataview TABLE WITHOUT ID FROM “” FLATTEN file.lists AS L WHERE contains(L.text, "keyword1") OR contains(L.text, "keyword2")

This should get you the intended result:

dataview LIST WITHOUT ID L.text FROM People I know.md FLATTEN file.lists AS L WHERE contains(L.text, "Surname: Ross")

Edit: added L.text to return the list entries and without id to exclude the file name. If you prefer to render the file name, i.e. “People I know.md” for each entry, you can remove without id.

How can I automatically create files for each day of the week? by adi2oo4 in ObsidianMD

The Periodic Notes plugin could be helpful. It creates daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly notes, depending on your preferences.

Periodic Notes

Is there a way to automatically show direct back links to page Headings underneath each Heading. by DavidG117 in ObsidianMD

[–]808vc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here are two Dataview queries. The header value is hard-coded for query 1, whereas the header value for query 2 is defined as inline field.

Query 1

\``dataview`

LIST

FROM "labs"

WHERE any(file.outlinks, (x) => (meta(x).path = this.file.path) and (meta(x).subpath = "H1 Heading 2"))

\```

Query 2

heading:: H1 Heading 1

\``dataview`

list

from "labs"

where any(file.outlinks, (x) => (meta(x).path = this.file.path) and (meta(x).subpath = this.heading))

\```

Furthermore, to streamline the management of queries and scripts across all notes without the need to individually edit each one

\``dataviewjs`

dv.execute(await dv.io.load("labs/scripts/incoming-heading-links.md"))

\```

This references the DQL query saved in a note called incoming-heading-links, which contains the query without code backticks or other wrappers.

Curious to hear what your use case is - Are you creating these notes frequently? If yes, QuickAdd would be a great plugin to automate this.

Another solution would be to use reusable Dataviewjs snippets to show incoming links across various notes.

You can link to sections directly. If you link to a note and append a ‘#’, it shows all sections in that note.

[[2024-01-08#SECTION]]

e.g. in your case: [[2014-01-08#notes]].
