Mum's care, in your daily notes.
Obsidian Coordinators already write a daily note. Pipe Getwello check-ins, visits and Family Room highlights straight into the day's file and a year from now you can scroll back through Mum's whole care arc in the same place you keep work notes and reading lists.
Coordinator-only. Included in the £4.99 plan. Same day to set up.

## Read
- Chapter 4 of the systems bookThe daily note
One markdown file per day, auto-populated.
Each morning, the integration appends a 'Mum (auto-synced)' section to today's note. By Sunday evening, the week's check-ins, mood scores, visit log and notable Family Room moments are all there. The Sunday review template knows where to look.
- Auto-creates the daily note if it doesn't exist.
- Inserts under a configurable heading.
- Tags entries for the graph view and dataview queries.
- Hand-written notes mix freely with auto-synced ones.
How to set it up
The high level. Full walkthrough in the help guide.
- 01Step 1 of 4
Install the Local REST API plugin.
Settings → Community plugins → Search 'Local REST API' → Install + Enable. Note the access token in the plugin settings.
- 02Step 2 of 4
Pick your relay.
Cloudflare Worker (most flexible), n8n (most visual), Zapier (simplest). The relay receives our webhook, formats markdown, calls the REST API plugin to append.
- 03Step 3 of 4
Create the Getwello webhook subscription.
Settings → Developer API → Webhooks. URL is your relay. Tick all four event types.
- 04Step 4 of 4
Tweak the markdown template.
Edit the relay to format entries the way you like. Bullet under a heading, tagged, with a timestamp. Reload Obsidian, check the daily note, iterate.
Frequently asked questions
Does Obsidian accept webhooks?
Not natively, but the Local REST API plugin exposes endpoints that any webhook receiver can target. Alternatively, a tiny script can write directly into the vault's markdown files, which Obsidian picks up instantly.
Where does the content go?
Most setups append to the current daily note. The Templater plugin can structure entries (## Mum, then bullet points). Some use a dedicated 'Mum log' note for cleaner separation.
Will it work with Obsidian Sync?
Yes. Once a file lands in the vault, Sync pushes it to every device. The integration writes to your local vault, Obsidian Sync handles propagation.
Can the graph view show care patterns?
Yes. Tag check-ins (#well, #mood-low) and visit entries (#james, #chloe). Obsidian's graph and dataview plugins surface patterns over weeks and months.
Is it private?
Your vault is yours. Obsidian doesn't see your notes (no cloud component unless you use Sync). The integration writes locally, you decide what syncs.
