Is it possible for Zapier to create a local file on my laptop? I want to use a Zap to put information from a Feedly article into a markdown file for Obsidian. So, can do, or no can do? (I suspect the answer is No, for security reasons, but thought I’d ask.)
Question
How do I create a local markdown file from a Feedly article in Obsidian using Zapier?

Hi
Good question.
Apps need to be based online to be used in Zaps.
What about the Google Drive sync?

and obsidian symlink
> You can use symbolic links (symlinks) and junctions in your vault to store files outside the vault and system folder.
