Actions are optional processing steps a Route runs on your content before (and after) it’s saved. Turn them on in a Route’s Actions section (Settings → Routes → your Route).
All actions
| Action | What it does | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Wrap capture | Surround captured content with predefined text before saving: a timestamp, divider or custom template. Tap ⚙ to set it up. See Wrap capture. | Off |
| Custom Files location | Override the Default Route for Files: store this Route’s photos, recordings and files in a different folder. See below. | Off |
| Insert attachments | Include attachments in the saved note. When off, files are still saved, but their links are removed from the note. Includes Preview width. | On |
| Auto Fill properties | Use AI to fill in empty Properties (Text and List) from the note’s content. Needs a plan or your own AI source. See Properties. | Off |
| Remove {{title}} | Removes the first line from the note body, so a title used in the file name ({{title}}) isn’t repeated. Applies to Folder Destinations. | Off |
| Fetch link titles | When you share a bare link, fetch the page title and save it as [Page title](url). | On |
| Embedded media | Save YouTube videos, X posts and image links as previews (), so they show inline in Obsidian. | Off |
| Open Obsidian | Automatically open the saved note in Obsidian, but only if every write succeeded. | Off |
| Close app | Automatically close the app after a successful save. On iOS, Quick Draft moves to the background. | Off |
| Remove quotes | Remove all quotes (" and ') from the text. | Off |
| Remove URLs | Remove all links (http, https, ftp) from the text. | Off |
Custom Files location
By default, attachments go to the Default Route for files (see Default Routes). With Custom Files location on, this Route stores them elsewhere:
- Turn on Custom Files location.
- Choose a Folder Destination.
- Optional: type a Subfolder (up to 256 characters). Date tokens work, and every
/creates a folder level. Example:[Attachments]/YYYY/givesAttachments/2026/. Tap path constructor for help.
Insert attachments and Preview width
With Insert attachments on, each attachment is linked in the note as an Obsidian embed, such as ![[photo.jpg|300]].
- Preview width sets the width of embedded attachments in pixels (0–1000, in steps of 50). The aspect ratio is kept. Use 0 for the original size.
- Use the
{{attach}}token in a template to choose where attachments appear. See Files and attachments.
Seeing what happened
Every action that ran is listed in the save’s History record, under Details, for example Fetched the page title and added it as link text or Wrapped capture using custom text.
