Related FAQs
- How can I add supertags on things that I send from Tana Capture?
While it isn't possible to tag things when you're sending things from Tana Capture, you can have Tana do some post-processing magic to convert written-out tags to real tags once they arrive the Inbox—no AI needed! This method uses a simple Tana Paste command that you can run on the Inbox node, which targets all new children that have "#" in them
Here's Theo describing the solution:
"All it does is paste the nodes that have # in them and that are not tagged, using Tana Paste.
Say we add this through Tana Capture:
buy milk #todo
The command will paste that exact text back in with Tana Paste, where ${name} is buy milk #todo and ${sys:content} is very important child note. Using Tana Paste #todo is added as a tag
Note: this creates a new node, so the created date will change, meaning you’ll lose the time that the node was captured through Tana Capture."
