Installing Drafts Actions

These actions must be installed in Drafts before the drafts-manager skill can work.

Quick Install

Geoffrey Export Inbox

1. Open Drafts on your Mac
2. Go to Drafts → Settings → Actions → Manage Actions
3. Click the + button to create a new action
4. Set the name to: Geoffrey Export Inbox
5. Click Steps → Add Script step
6. Copy the entire contents of geoffrey-export-inbox.js into the script editor
7. Click Done to save

Geoffrey Process Draft

1. Create another new action
2. Set the name to: Geoffrey Process Draft
3. Click Steps → Add Script step
4. Copy the entire contents of geoffrey-process-draft.js into the script editor
5. Important: Click the gear icon on the action and set:
   • After Success: Do Nothing (don't archive the draft - the script handles this)
6. Click Done to save

Verification

Test that the export action works:

open "drafts://x-callback-url/runAction?action=Geoffrey%20Export%20Inbox"

Check for the export file:

ls -la ~/Library/Mobile\ Documents/iCloud~com~agiletortoise~Drafts5/Documents/geoffrey-export.json

If the file exists and was recently modified, the action is working.

Troubleshooting

"Action not found" error

• Make sure the action names match exactly:
  • Geoffrey Export Inbox
  • Geoffrey Process Draft
• Check for extra spaces or different capitalization

Export file not created

• Open Drafts manually and run the action from the action list
• Check for script errors in Drafts' action log

OmniFocus tasks not created

• Make sure OmniFocus is running
• The OmniFocus URL scheme needs the app to be open

Obsidian notes not created

• Make sure Obsidian is running
• Verify the vault name is "Personal_Notes"
• Check that the folder path exists

Action Configuration

Template Tags

The process action uses Drafts template tags to receive parameters. When called via URL:

drafts://x-callback-url/runAction?action=Geoffrey%20Process%20Draft&uuid=ABC&destination=omnifocus

The parameters become available as template tags in the script.

Customization

To change the Obsidian vault path, edit this line in geoffrey-process-draft.js:

let obsidianVault = "/Users/hagelk/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~md~obsidian/Documents/Personal_Notes";

To change the default Obsidian folder, edit:

let folder = draft.getTemplateTag("folder") || "Geoffrey/Inbox";
