# Obsidian
> Send transcriptions directly to your Obsidian vault.
The Pro plan unlocks the Obsidian integration so transcriptions and notes flow into your vault automatically.
## Overview
Vowen can automatically send transcriptions to your Obsidian vault, appending them to your daily note or a specified file.
## Setup
1. Open **Settings > Meeting Notes > Integrations** and click **Configure Obsidian**
2. Set your **Vault Path** — the directory where your Obsidian vault lives
3. Optionally set a **Folder** — the parent folder inside the vault that Vowen writes into (defaults to `Vowen`). A live hint shows where notes will land, e.g. `Notes will be saved to: MyVault/Vowen/`
4. Under **What to save**, choose whether to write the **Summary**, the **Transcript**, or both (both are on by default). At least one must stay enabled
5. Enable the integration
## How It Works
When a meeting note finishes, Vowen creates a **dedicated folder for that note** inside your chosen parent folder and writes the content as Markdown files:
```
///
├── summary.md
└── transcript.md
```
* Each note gets its own subfolder named after the note's title (illegal path characters are replaced, and duplicate titles are auto-numbered as `Title (1)`, `Title (2)`, and so on)
* `summary.md` holds the AI summary; `transcript.md` holds the full transcript. A file is only written when that content exists **and** you've kept it enabled under **What to save**
* Every file includes **YAML frontmatter** with `title`, `date`, `source: vowen`, `type` (`summary` or `transcript`), and `template` (the name of the [summary template](/meeting-notes/summaries#custom-templates) that produced the note)
Because the frontmatter carries the `template`, `type`, and `source` fields and the full transcript ships as its own file, you can drive Obsidian **Templater**, **QuickAdd**, or **Dataview** flows keyed off any of those values — for example, auto-routing or post-processing notes by template name.
## Syncing a Note on Demand
Meeting notes sync to your vault automatically when they finish, but you can also push a single note manually. Open any meeting note and click **Sync to Obsidian** — Vowen writes (or updates) that note in your vault right away and confirms with a toast. This is useful after you edit a summary, rename a note, or change the **What to save** options and want to refresh what's already in the vault.
## Use Cases
* **Voice journaling** — dictate thoughts throughout the day, find them in your vault
* **Meeting notes** — automatically capture what you discuss
* **Quick capture** — speak ideas and find them organized in Obsidian later
* **Research notes** — dictate observations and have them searchable
