Creating a new note

You can also use ink+ {title}:{body} to create a new note. For this to work you need to set a defaultNotebook on the workflow config.

defaultTags is optional and takes a comma separated list of tag IDs.

Hint

You can use the dev tools plugin to get the ID of notebooks and tags.
