Actions for Obsidian › Actions › List All Notes

Returns the list of paths of all Markdown files in a vault, sorted alphabetically. It does not return the notes themselves, just their paths.

Use the “Get Note” action with the returned file paths to get the actual note content.

Parameters

Vault

The vault to work in.

Type: Vault reference

Return Value

Text (list)

Examples

Most of the time you would use this action to get a list of all your notes’ file paths, then loop over the results list using the built-in “Repeat With” block. If you want to retrieve the details of the notes, you would use a “Get Note” action and use the loop variable Repeat Item as the argument for the “File Path or Name” parameter.

If you want to filter the list by folders etc., I recommend using the “Filter List” action from Sindre Sorhus’s excellent Actions app (no relation) or a built-in “Repeat With” loop with a contained “If” action.
