Shortcut for new note in Dropbox Paper

[phil-a]

Falling in love with Dropbox paper for notes and brainstorming.

 

I've created custom web searches for new google doc and new google sheet.

 

Wondering if anybody can figure out the web search shortcode for making an Alfred shortcut for a new dropbox paper note?



PS- I've just recently found out about Alfred  So forgive e if this is a real simple question!

The Dropbox API doesn't have a call to create a new note at this point.  There are ways to automate a click but they will be messy and breakable.

Aww, bummer! Thanks for the quick response

There is a Mac desktop version of Paper someone is making I found that could then be scripted with an Alfred workflow. But in my short time testing, the desktop version had some issues to work out still.

Are you sure? Not every app is scriptable.

Quite possibly not, I have not tried it.

It’s an electron app. It won’t be.
