# [[Obsidian QuickAdd]]
QuickAdd is a plugin that lets you add automation to [[Obsidian]] by creating pre-programmed instructions that can be triggered from the command pane or with a keyboard shortcut.

In QuickAdd, a "choice" is a type of automation. It includes four choices:
## Multi
A *multi* is a folder. Selecting it lets you create a folder to group other choices into. It's also the least useful unless you have enough choices that you really need the organization.
## Template
A *template* lets you create a new note according to a specified template.
## Capture
A *capture* choice lets you add text to a file without opening it or leaving the file you're on.
## Macro
A *macro* choice is a combination of two or more choices of different types.
