Hello all, I have released a hotfolder plugin. Currently you can define the hotfolder, if certain file endings should be imported as text, in which notebook the notes should be created and if tags should be added. [grafik] [image] JackGruber/joplin-plugin-hotfolder A plugin to Mon…

When the scan and send is completed, the file has all the data. The plugin doesn't import the PDF into Joplin. If I move the file to a te…

There is a built in export option for md- files. That should be able to complete your desired workflow as I understand it. Plugin: Save Note as MD - #2 by dpoulton
