Paste the key in plugin settings
Open Settings → Save2Vault, paste the key into the API key field, and click Test connection to confirm it works. Then click Sync now to run your first sync — after that, the plugin also checks for new notes automatically every 30 minutes while Obsidian is open.

@save2obsidian Look in your vault
Give the service and plugin a short moment to process and sync. A new markdown note will appear in your configured Save2Obsidian folder, ready to edit, link, tag, or move.
You can also check Recent saves on the dashboard to confirm that the post reached your account.
A few useful details
How long does a note take to appear?
Usually a short moment. Processing time can vary with the post and how often your Obsidian plugin is checking for new notes. If nothing appears after several minutes, confirm that the plugin is enabled and the key is correct, then check Recent saves on your dashboard.
Does Save2Obsidian support video?
For now, video posts are saved with their link, text, and available context. Video transcription is planned for a later release.
Can I choose where notes are stored?
Yes. Use the Save2Vault plugin settings to choose the destination folder inside your vault.
How do I unlink my X account?
Account unlinking will move to a self-service settings page in a future update. For now, email support@save2obsidian.com and ask us to remove the link.
