Export multiple entities to markdown or PDF

Is there a way to select multiple entities and then export them into one pdf or markdown file? So that I have the name + rich text field content available for Claude.

I saw this screenshot in an old post. But I don’t see an attach pdf function in the automations?

Thanks!

(PS. I know I can export them one by one, but I’m looking for a way to do it in batch)

You need to have the Files field enabled for the action to show up.

The current automation action attaches a PDF to the entity (= stores it in the Files field)
If you have selected multiple entities, and want information from them to be exported into a single PDF file, where would you want this single PDF file to live?

Ah, that makes sense!

Ideal set-up:

  • We have a ‘subject’ entity
  • All our wiki articles are linked to a subject
  • If I press a button on the subject entity page, then create a pdf or markdown which contains all content of the linked wikis of that page
  • That PDF can be stored in some new entity if needed, or simply in the file section of the subject page

Edit:
Other option: simply combine all entities in 1 new entity? And then export that one entity to markdown manually. That’s maybe a more simple solution?

You should add the Files field to the Subject db, and then create a button which generate a PDF which will attach to the Subject entity.
The body of the PDF will include markdown that pulls the name and contents of the linked articles, e.g. {{Articles:Name,Description}}

It’s explained here.

If you want fancy formatting, you might end up needing to use JS.
