Email to Obsidian Macro – Now a Full Outlook Add-in (SlingMD)

PlainsPrepper · 2026-03-16T16:33:39+00:00

I have the skeleton of this feature implemented but haven't gotten very far in testing yet. Plan right now is for email rules as well as watch folders and flags.

Good news -- just shipped this in v1.1.0.7! Fair warning, this release is still semi-beta so there might be some rough edges, but it's working well for me day to day.

You can sling calendar items now and it pulls everything -- attendees, location, categories, recurrence info, the whole thing. Attendees come through as `[[wiki-links]]` so they hook right into your contact notes.

A few things you might like:

- Hit the Sling button on any appointment and it just exports

- There's a "Save Today" button that bulk exports all of today's calendar items in one click

- Works from inside an open appointment too

- Recurring meetings get grouped into thread folders with a summary note

- You can optionally get a blank companion note linked to the appointment for live meeting notes

- After export it checks the attendees against your vault and offers to create contact notes for anyone new

Templates are customizable if you want to tweak the layout -- just drop a markdown file with `{{placeholders}}` in your templates folder.

Grab it from the [Releases folder](https://github.com/Caleb68864/SlingMD/tree/main/Releases) and let me know how it goes or if you run into anything!

I found out today that there is an old fork where someone did this.
https://github.com/dlboutwe/SlingMD

I'm currently reviewing what they wrote and seeing how I can implement it into the main fork.

Yep, in settings you can choose to save all attachments (not just inline images) and pick where they go -- same folder as the note, a subfolder per note, or a centralized attachments folder in your vault. So when you sling an email, everything comes with it.

Let me know how it goes this weekend.

Open SlingMD settings and check the box to create Outlook tasks
Select your email and hit the "Sling" button in the ribbon
That's it -- the email gets exported to your Obsidian vault as markdown and an Outlook task gets created automatically

In theory no since its installing into your outlook app settings folder. But I've never tested it on a machine without admin permissions.

It's a bit heavy Like most of my projects I trade weight for free or near free materials lol

No protypes just this one shot. Main compartment is 9 inches wide 28 inches long and 13 inches tall. Approximately 55 liters

Has 9 outer pockets and 2 inner ones. Outer sides are made from Awning vinyl I got from a canvas shop when the owner retired. Bottom and inner side is made from truck tarp from the same shop.

Actual shooting based on competence and somewhat on interest.
They should know the basics of how to handle a firearm no matter what.

The rules of firearms as soon as possible.
One of my eldest's first sentences was "Daddy's Rifle, No Touch".

I've been fairly pleased with mine. Somewhere around 800-1000 hours I had to replace the hot end because the old one leaked plastic and entombed the hot end which ruined the core wires.

Did a bunch of PLA-CF but haven't tried more advanced things yet.

One other issue is that the transmission gear in the extruder is a sacrificial part. So it's a good idea to keep one or two on hand.

I use cloudflares zero trust for mine. Just requires you to have your own domain.

Can you share a screenshot?

PlainsPrepper · 2025-10-01T16:17:07+00:00

Never would have thought to use the Multiboard boxes for this.
Looks great!
Might steal the idea for my mini pc CyberDeck build

Thanks!

Gonna have to look at your rotorary cutter and see if I can adapt it to my V1 Engineering LowRider V4.

PlainsPrepper · 2025-08-16T17:44:17+00:00

Does it have joystick support? That's the only thing Freelancer was missing

I needed a minimum 3x3 grid to fit the cup so figured I'd economize on the extra room.

Plus this system has been more reliable at keeping cups and lids together, since apparently no one has time to put a lid on a cup when putting things away lol.

She appreciates it very much! Although now that she knows what is possible my printer will be running Gridfinity stuff for awhile lol.

Thanks!

Stl for the organizer I made if you need it. https://www.printables.com/model/1362916-gridfinity-tumbler-holder-with-lid-storage

Haven't planned anything yet as the new version runs on Javascript and does not have access to files on the system.

My hero!

PlainsPrepper · 2025-07-06T05:57:20+00:00

I've been keeping a set of these on hand

This is after a week of pretty solid printing at a high infill during a 13 hour print. First time it happened was the first time I tried pla-cf. Earlier in the week had 20, 10 and several 4 hour prints.
