Save Workflow Results as Markdown Notes in Obsidian via Google Drive

Sub-workflow that writes results as markdown notes to Google Drive, which a symlink syncs into an Obsidian vault so notes appear there instantly.

What it does

## Create Symlink Create a symlink to integrate your Google Drive Desktop folder with your Obsidian Vault, ensuring that workflow-generated notes stored in Google Drive instantly appear and update in Obsidian. - Open an Administrator Command Prompt: Press Win + S, type cmd, right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. - Get Folder Paths: Identify the source path: This is the existing Google Drive folder you want to link to. Decide on the target path: This is the folder in your Obsidian Vault where the symlink will be created. Ensure the Target Path Does Not Already Exist - Run the mklink Command: Use the following syntax to create a directory symbolic link: mklink /D "Target Path" "Source Path" The target path is the location in your Vault where the symlink will be created. The source path is the Google Drive folder. - Example Command: mklink /D "C:\Users\YourName\Vault\OtherFolder" "C:\Users\YourName\Google Drive\MyFolder"
