Smart Templates API integration (Pro)
Smart Templates Pro lets you stay inside Obsidian.
Instead of copying a prompt to an external chat, you can generate directly from the shared Template Context modal, review the output, then insert it or create a note.
Shared flow, two output paths
The first half of the workflow is identical to Core:
- Start from the current note or selection.
- Add more context.
- Select one or more templates.
- Add optional instructions.
Then Pro adds a second output path:
- Copy prompt for external chat workflows
- Generate for in-Obsidian output
Output review modal
After generation, Smart Templates opens a dedicated review surface.
Use it to:
- inspect the generated output
- copy the output
- insert it into the current note
- create a new note
- change the model and regenerate
Model control
Pro gives you two levels of model control:
- a Smart Templates setting for the default generate model
- a per-request override inside the modal
That means you can keep one stable default, then switch models only when the job needs it.
Best use cases
- when you want to keep the whole workflow inside Obsidian
- when you want a streamed review step before inserting output
- when you want to try several models against the same context + template request
- when you want a clean path from generated output to a new note
