Raindrop

Save the page you are on to Raindrop.io, with a title, a short description, tags and a cover, and skip pages you already saved.

Needs a Raindrop connection — 

Pick a saved connection in the Credential field, or create one from there. It signs in with a Bearer Token.

What it does

The Raindrop node works on three kinds of things (Resource):

• Bookmark: save a new bookmark (Create), change one (Update), or find bookmarks (Search).
• Collection: list your top-level collections, to find a Collection ID.
• Tag: list the tags you use, in the whole account or in one collection.

When Title or Cover image URL is empty, Raindrop fills them in from the page itself.

With Skip if already saved on, Bookmark → Create first checks whether the Link is already bookmarked anywhere in your account. If it is, nothing is saved and the output says so, with the ids of the existing bookmarks. Without it, every run saves a new bookmark, even for the same address.

Search returns 25 bookmarks unless you set Limit (50 at most), from all collections unless you set Collection ID.

When to use it

• Save the current page in one click, with tags chosen for you by an AI node.
• Store an AI-written summary of an article as the bookmark’s excerpt.
• Bookmark every new item of an RSS feed into a “To read” collection.
• Find bookmarks matching a word to reuse their links.

Need an operation that isn't listed? — 

Call the Raindrop API yourself with the HTTP Request node, and pick the same connection in its Credential field.

Use HTTP Request →

• Link is usually an expression, such as {{ $input.url }} after Get Page Metadata.
• Tags takes one tag per entry, or a list from an earlier node, for example the label from Text Classifier.
• Collection ID is a number. Run Collection → List once and copy the _id of the collection. When empty, new bookmarks go to Unsorted.
• Query accepts Raindrop’s search syntax, for example #recipes for a tag or type:article.
• Bookmark ID comes from the item._id of a Create result or from a Search result.

Outputs

• Output

• Bookmark → Create returns the saved bookmark under item (with its _id, title, link and tags) and created: true. When Skip if already saved found the page, it returns created: false, duplicate: true and ids, the existing bookmark ids.
• Bookmark → Update returns the updated bookmark under item.
• Bookmark → Search returns the matches under items, plus count, the total number of matches.
• Collection → List and Tag → List return their entries under items. For tags, each entry’s _id is the tag name and count its number of bookmarks.

Use an IF node on {{ $input.duplicate }} to treat pages you already had differently.

Dependencies and credentials

• Credential (connection, Bearer Token): required. See Connect Raindrop.

Use a Raindrop test token, saved as a Bearer Token credential:

1. On raindrop.io, open Settings → Integrations and, under For Developers, create a new app (any name).
2. Open the app and click Create test token, then copy it.
3. Paste it as the token of a new credential. See Create a credential.

The token gives full access to your Raindrop account, so keep it private.

Example workflow

1. A Context Menu trigger adds “Save to Raindrop” to the right-click menu.
2. Get Page Metadata reads the page’s url and title.
3. Raindrop, Bookmark → Create, Link {{ $input.url }}, Tags read-later, Collection ID 12345678, Skip if already saved on.
4. Browser Notification shows Saved or Already saved, chosen with an IF on {{ $input.duplicate }}.

Common issues

• “Missing credential”. No credential is selected. Pick or create one in Credential.
• “Raindrop API Error: 401 Unauthorized”. The token is wrong or was deleted. Create a new test token in your Raindrop app settings and update the credential.
• The same page is saved twice. Skip if already saved is off. Turn it on.
• The bookmark landed in Unsorted. Collection ID is empty or not a number. Copy the _id from Collection → List.
• The run is blocked in the web app. Raindrop runs through the browser extension. Install the extension and allow Raindrop for this workflow when asked, or run the workflow from the extension. See Running extension-only integrations in the web app.
