Make to Dropbox for Obsidian

Streamline your note-taking by integrating Dropbox with Obsidian using IFTTT and Integromat for efficient markdown management.

This process could probably be used also to send things to Ulysses.

“The process involves both integration platforms IFTTT and Integromat with Dropbox as the cloud storage for my Obsidian vault. IFTTT is used to get the data from Instapaper to then send it on to a Webhook in Integromat which processes it and uploads a markdown note to Dropbox.”
