Note template placeholders

You can customize the note template using:

• {{articleId}}
• {{articleTitle}}
• {{author}}
• {{siteName}}
• {{url}}
• {{highlights}}

Behavior details

• The plugin tracks synced highlight IDs to avoid duplicate imports.
• If a note already exists for an article, newly fetched highlights are appended.
• If no new highlights are available, the plugin records the sync time and exits.

Troubleshooting

• If sync fails, verify your API key in plugin settings.
• Confirm your vault has permission to create notes in the selected folder.
• Check Obsidian developer console logs for API or network errors.

Development
