Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how to take text from Drafts 4, send it to Editorial, and use it to create a new file in a specific folder of my Dropbox. In this case the folder I'm aiming for is called nvNotes, and I was hoping to specify this path via the URL, like so:

editorial://new/[[title]].txt?root=dropbox&path=/nvNotes/&content=[[body]]

or by maybe using the full path instead:

editorial://new/[[title]].txt?root=dropbox&path=/Apps/Editorial/nvNotes/&content=[[body]]

However, both actions create the new file at the root level of my synced Dropbox folder in Editorial (/Apps/Editorial/). Does the Editorial URL scheme have the power to specify the path of a new file, like I'm trying to have it do above? Or is there a way to do via a workflow? (And if so, how?)

Thanks for any help!

Oh and P.S.: the content element of the URL scheme is still undocumented here. I only discovered it through this forum post.

Try something like:

editorial://new/nvNotes/[[title]].txt?root=dropbox&content=[[body]]

The path is relative to your sync folder (which I assume to be the default /Apps/Editorial here).

So that's how it works! Ah, perfect.

Thank you!
