Example: a quick capture to Agenda
Capture a project decision with a PDF attached, set Project Title to “Website”, enable On The Agenda, and export. Agenda creates a dated note in that project and carries the PDF as the note attachment.
Send the capture
- Open an existing Capture and choose its configured Agenda export action.
- Capture hands off only the supported types listed above. Complete any confirmation or compose screen shown by Agenda.
Limits and troubleshooting
Limits
- Capture does not validate project names or Agenda display-style values before opening Agenda.
- The integration depends on Agenda’s x-callback URL support and requires the app to be installed.
Troubleshooting
- If the note lands in the wrong project, enter the exact Agenda project title.
- If an attachment does not appear, confirm the capture still has readable file data and try the export again.
