Actions (THEN)

A rule’s THEN block is what happens to a note once its IF conditions match. Every action has a type (what to change) and, depending on type, a specific operation and value.

Action types

Type Changes Page
Property A frontmatter property Property Actions
First level title The note’s title (the H1 after frontmatter) First Level Title Actions
Note file The file itself — its name or which folder it’s in Note File Actions

Multiple actions per rule

A single rule can chain several actions — see Multiple Actions for execution order and how a later action can build on an earlier one in the same rule.

Placeholders

Action values aren’t limited to static text — reference the current date/time, the file’s name, a frontmatter property, or a regex capture group inline. See Placeholders.
