Send text from Drafts to specific Dropbox folder in Editorial?
-
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to take text from Drafts 4, send it to Editorial, and use it to create a new file in a specific folder of my Dropbox. In this case the folder I'm aiming for is called nvNotes, and I was hoping to specify this path via the URL, like so:
editorial://new/[[title]].txt?root=dropbox&path=/nvNotes/&content=[[body]]or by maybe using the full path instead:
editorial://new/[[title]].txt?root=dropbox&path=/Apps/Editorial/nvNotes/&content=[[body]]However, both actions create the new file at the root level of my synced Dropbox folder in Editorial (/Apps/Editorial/). Does the Editorial URL scheme have the power to specify the path of a new file, like I'm trying to have it do above? Or is there a way to do via a workflow? (And if so, how?)
Thanks for any help!
Oh and P.S.: the
contentelement of the URL scheme is still undocumented here. I only discovered it through this forum post. -
Try something like:
editorial://new/nvNotes/[[title]].txt?root=dropbox&content=[[body]]The path is relative to your sync folder (which I assume to be the default /Apps/Editorial here).

So that's how it works! Ah, perfect.
Thank you!
