Quick capture for Fabric

Quick Notes for Fabric

Use Capture as a fast inbox before an idea becomes a note in Fabric. Save a Capture to Fabric through its API: text becomes a note, a link becomes a bookmark, and an image or file is uploaded as a file.

To send a capture to Fabric, open Capture Settings, choose Export, and add Fabric as a destination. In Fabric, create an API key at fabric.so/settings/api-keys. Capture notes that the Fabric API requires a Pro or Team plan. Paste the key into Capture; it is required before the destination can be saved or used. Optionally enter a folder ID and tags. Text and phone captures become a Fabric note with the trimmed text. Links become a Fabric bookmark with the absolute URL and, when Capture has fetched it, the page title as the name. Fabric is offered as a destination for Text, Links, Images and Files captures.

What gets sent to Fabric

  • Text and phone captures become a Fabric note with the trimmed text.
  • Links become a Fabric bookmark with the absolute URL and, when Capture has fetched it, the page title as the name.
  • Images and files are uploaded with their filename and content type, then saved as a Fabric file. HEIC photos are converted to JPEG first.
  • Configured tags are added to every item, and every item is saved in the configured folder.

Set up Fabric in Capture

  1. Open Capture Settings, choose Export, then tap Configure if this is your first destination or Add new destination.
  2. Choose Fabric from the app picker.
  3. In Fabric, create an API key at fabric.so/settings/api-keys. Capture notes that the Fabric API requires a Pro or Team plan.
  4. Paste the key into Capture; it is required before the destination can be saved or used.
  5. Optionally enter a folder ID and tags.
  6. Review the destination name and icon, then tap Save.

Fields and options

Field or optionWhat it changes
API keyRequired key from Fabric’s API key settings.
Folder IDOptional; default @alias::inbox. A blank value also saves to the Inbox.
TagsOptional comma-separated tag list.

Example: a quick capture to Fabric

Enter your API key, keep the folder as @alias::inbox and add the tag “capture”. Exporting an article URL creates a tagged bookmark in your Fabric Inbox without opening Fabric.

Send the capture

  1. Open an existing Capture and choose its configured Fabric export action.
  2. Capture sends the supported type directly to Fabric and shows a success toast when the API request completes.

Limits and troubleshooting

Limits

  • The integration calls the Fabric API and does not open Fabric.
  • Capture does not check that the folder ID exists before it exports.
  • Each export creates a new item; Capture does not add to an existing note.

Troubleshooting

  • If Capture rejects the destination, paste a nonblank Fabric API key.
  • If the export fails, check that the key is still valid and that your Fabric plan includes API access.
  • If items land in the Inbox instead of a folder, recheck the folder ID.
