Roam Research + Foldr Integration
Roam popularised bi-directional linking and daily notes. Roam doesn't natively host files well — offload attachments to Foldr and use `{{[[iframe]]:…}}` blocks to embed them into your graph.
How to Connect Roam Research to Foldr
Create an inbound webhook in Roam Research
In Roam Research's webhook / automation settings, add a new webhook that fires on the event you care about.
Point the webhook at Foldr
Use https://foldr.space/api/v1/webhooks/ingest?token=<your-foldr-webhook-token> — Foldr accepts JSON bodies and deduplicates by source ID.
Add an outgoing Foldr webhook (optional)
If you want events to flow the other way (Foldr → Roam Research), add your Roam Research webhook URL to your Foldr workspace settings.

- Replace Roam Research's native file hosting with Foldr for bigger, permanent files
- Share Roam Research exports (PDF, docx) as Foldr short links
