FR: Command to create a note from a google calendar event or contact

[brimwats]

Rather than inserting into a note, I'd like to make a event note with a template and then insert that link into my daily note

Dear @brimwats and @brimwats , I'm "this" close to solving this issue without any improvement on the already amazing plugin. Here's what I'm trying:

• I have Buttons, Templater and QuickAdd installed
• I created a button that call a QuickAdd command that creates an empty note with templater. It's empty because I just need to set its name so GoogleLookup can do its magic
• Then I manually call GoogleLookup

I tried to automate the final step using two different paths:

• using a Templater script inside that "empty template". This script should navigate to an AdvancedURI (another plugin) URI that call insert-contact-info command (from GoogleLookup). Unfortunately it didn't work

• using a QuickAdd macro to create the empty note (Templater again) and immediately call GoogleLookup. This time it called just the templater. After many tests, I found out that calling Templater is asynchronous, so I had to add a Wait between the commands. With 10s it worked, but it's too ugly to be acceptable.

Still working on that!

Have a nice day and weekend ahead!

would love the templater script when you get it working!

+1 would love to see the templater script that you used to get this working. Ultimately I would prefer to have the google-lookup plugin called from within my daily note. Since that uses templater already I'm hoping that what you describe would "just work" for that?

+1 for this feature
It's the only thing i'm really missing from Evernote since i switched. Evernote used to send me notification on the events that came up and i could either use the notification to immediately create a note or create one from the list of events that were happening during the day.

It would be great to create a file from a command, with the template defined and a template string from the options to fill in the title.

The google calendar plugin does this btw :)

Was there ever a solution for this? I would even settle for just updating the title on an existing note when inserting the Google event
