The Canvas Blocks plugin integrates Python scripting capabilities with Obsidian Canvas, allowing users to automate tasks such as generating QR codes, modifying images, and creating custom workflows. Users can work with simple scripts for quick execution or design complex workflows that chain multiple scripts for repeated tasks. The plugin supports real-time interactivity within the Canvas, where scripts can receive inputs from other nodes and generate outputs. It also allows for API key handling and provides a library of useful functions for managing data. The plugin is highly customizable, letting users define their own prompts and actions, making it a powerful tool for integrating automation into their notes.
