some minor adjustments

This action copies the current note into Tinderbox (TBX). After finishing the job the note in Drafts will be copied to the Archive.
The new note in TBX will be added to a container called „inbox“ (just create an empty note with this name in TBX).
You have to set the path to your TBX file in the „theTBXFile“ variable first. That’s all it needs.

If you find this useful you can Buy Me A Coffee

Steps

  • runAppleScript (macOS only)

    -- The action must be initiated from a note in Drafts.app while the title of the note will become the $Name of the TBX note. 
    -- the script is based on the work of midas0441 (TBX forum)
    
    on execute(draft)
    	-- adjust filename and path to your needs
    	set theTBXFile to "/Users/yourname/Documents/Tinderbox/ideas.tbx"
    
    	set theTitle to title of the draft

    	display dialog theDialogText buttons {"Frontmost", "Default"} default button "Default" with icon caution giving up after 5
    	
    	if the button returned of the result is "Frontmost" then
    		set theTarget to false
    	else
    		set theTarget to true
    	end if
    
    	tell application id "Cere"
    		if theTarget then
    			open theTBXFile
    		end if
    		
    		tell front document
    			if not (exists note "Inbox") then make new note with properties {name:"Inbox"}
    			set theContainer to note "inbox"
    			set myNote to make new note with properties {name:theTitle} at theContainer
    			tell myNote
    				set value of attribute "Text" to theCleanBody

    	set text item delimiters to ""
    
    	return theResult
