Get highlights

Pro plus icon
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns highlights from your Readwise account that match optional filters for source, tag, date range, or keyword.

Create a highlight

Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This action will add a new highlight to your Readwise account. Readwise will match the source title and author to your existing library, or create a new source entry if no match exists.
