# Obsidian Helper Script: Export Gmail Receipts
This script is used to help me take emails I label as receipts and load them into my [obsidian](https://obsidian.md) vault. This allows me to keep track of receipts in a relational way.
## Usage
Edit the file to fit your needs, then run `python gmail_receipts_to_obsidian.py` on a regular basis to keep your inbox synced to obsidian.
## Requirements
- python3
## Tips
- This file can (and should) be modified to fit your liking, receipts are just a useful example I used.
- The template is formed to be compatible with the [dataview plugin](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/) for obsidian so long as you have the inline attributes option enabled.
## Output
This is what a file might look like:
```markdown
---
tags: ['receipt','email']
aliases: []
---
