FAQPage Schema
How do I auto-file notes from my Inbox to specific folders in Obsidian?

You can auto-file notes from your Inbox by using category frontmatter to automatically route them to designated destination folders within your Obsidian vault. This keeps your notes organized without manual sorting.

What happens if an Inbox note has a missing or unrecognized category?

When an Inbox note has a missing or unrecognized category frontmatter, the organizer prompts you to manually select a destination folder. This ensures no notes are left behind or filed incorrectly.

How does category frontmatter work for organizing vault notes?

Category frontmatter acts as metadata metadata tags that determine where notes are routed. The organizer reads this frontmatter to automatically move notes from the Inbox into matching designated folders.

Can I run the organizer on existing Inbox notes or only new ones?

You can run the organizer on the content within your Inbox folder to move notes to their destination folders. It processes the notes currently sitting in the Inbox based on their category frontmatter.

Do I need any specific plugins to automate Inbox note routing?

No specific plugins are required as dependencies. The organizer requires access to your Inbox folder and uses the category frontmatter already present in your notes to determine the destination folders.
