Alfred Trigger

Run Trigger Alfred while a document is active in Obsidian to open alfred://runtrigger/nl.ulso.curator/obsidian?argument=... through the system URL handler. The bundle ID (nl.ulso.curator) and external trigger ID (obsidian) can be changed in the plugin settings.

The argument contains a UTF-8 JSON object encoded as base64 and escaped for the URL query. For example, decoding it produces:

{"name":"Example","path":"/Users/you/Vault/Example.md","properties":{"tags":["example"],"status":"draft"}}

The name is the active view's display title, and the path is the absolute local path. Each invocation uses the active document, including documents in pop-out windows and reading views. If no document is active, the plugin shows a notice.

When the document has frontmatter, each property is included under properties, preserving its value and type. The properties field is omitted when no frontmatter is available.

This command sends the document name, path, and frontmatter properties to your local Alfred workflow.

The Alfred Markdown Curator Workflow I built works great with this plugin!
