flomo sync ​

Send your WuCai highlights to flomo automatically.

Before you start ​

  1. This feature requires a WuCai PRO membership.
  2. You also need a flomo PRO account.
  3. Open the flomo settings and copy your flomo API — you will paste it into WuCai. The flomo incoming webhook page where the API is copied
  4. Open the WuCai flomo settings.

How to use ​

  1. After highlighting, add the matching tag in the note. A highlight with a tag in its note

  2. Or tag the highlight itself. Adding a tag directly to a highlight

Which tags trigger a sync is configured on the WuCai flomo settings page.

Card format ​

When a highlight is sent to flomo you can customise the card template. The available variables are:

{{{note}}} the highlighted text
{{{anno}}} your note on the highlight
{{{tags}}} highlight tags, e.g. #read
{{{title}}} the title of the page the highlight came from
{{{url}}} the URL of that page
{{{wucaiurl}}} the WuCai link for that highlight

Mind the brackets

Each variable uses three braces, not two.

Default template ​

{{{note}}}
> {{{anno}}} {{{tags}}}

Good to know ​

  1. flomo sync fails without a flomo paid plan.
  2. flomo accepts 100 items per day.
  3. Highlights beyond that limit are sent the next day.
  4. Sync is not instant: the WuCai server schedules it, usually every 5–10 minutes.
  5. Tag rules exist to keep unnecessary highlights out of flomo.
  6. Duplicates can happen: editing the same highlight several times triggers several syncs.
