ZettelFlow Community Resources Guide

Introduction to Community Resources

ZettelFlow allows the community to share templates, flows, and actions to help users enhance their note-taking experience. The Community section provides pre-built resources that you can easily import and use in your own Obsidian vault.

Types of Community Resources

ZettelFlow offers four main types of community resources:

1. Flows

Flows are complete workflows designed to guide you through specific note-taking processes. These are particularly valuable because:

  • Ready to use: No technical knowledge required
  • Time-saving: No need to build workflows from scratch
  • Best practice: Created by experienced users
  • Versatile: Available for many different note-taking scenarios

2. Steps

Steps are individual components that can be added to your existing workflows. They represent a single action or decision point in a note creation process.

3. Actions

Actions are specific functions that can be performed within a step, such as adding a date, selecting options, or running scripts.

4. Markdown

Markdown templates provide reusable text content that can be incorporated into your notes.
