Open Note takes a note object as an input. Put a Get Note action before and use the output as a parameter for Open Note

I see. Thanks, it works now. The info panel in Shortcuts for the “Open Note” action didn’t really mention that. I also tried looking in the help page of Bear but there wasn’t really any documentation either.

Thanks!
