Thread by @RoamStack

We're big fans of Roam42's new SmartBlocks feature.

Created by @roamhacker, we finally have a way to automate more of our workflows in @RoamResearch.

🧵 A thread with the best resources to get started.

SmartBlocks currently only works in the beta version of Roam42.

While a test version, it's very stable and well worth getting for the SmartBlocks feature. See here for the installation instructions:

There's written documentation about SmartBlocks in the Roam42 help database.

It'll help you understand the philosophy behind the block-type and how to get started creating your own blocks.

Have an hour? Check out this conversation between Roam power users @RobertHaisfield and @brandontoner, discussing:

• What are SmartBlocks?
• Why use SmartBlocks?
• SmartBlocks vs Queries
• Making a SmartBlock
• Integrations with SmartBlocks
+ demos

Start using SmartBlocks by automating simple routines.

Here's @rjnestor showing how his morning routine template, built with pre-defined blocks and interactive SmartBlock actions:
