Tags added to text in Whatsapp or Telegram does not transform automatically

I am trying to send links from Edge or Tiktok via Whatsapp and Telegram but the tags do not transform automatically. For example I have a tag for "date places", when I add links with a tag #dateplaces, it creates a new tag "dateplaces" (with no space), instead of my original tag "date places".

We'll look into it, thanks.

Luca Joos I'm having a similar issue here. I wrote a script that auto-imports Readwise Reader highlights to Capacities via API, applying a "to-process" tag, which I also use in items added via Telegram / Whatsapp, so I can work on them later. It was working fine until a few days ago, but now every item added with either method creates a new "to-process" tag, which basically ruins my entire logic.

Luca Joos Thank you for addressing this. I would like to propose an enhancement based on a related request I shared on Canny last year.
Currently, text messages forwarded from WhatsApp or Telegram to Daily Notes appear with a prefix indicating the source app (via a small icon) and the time of sending. While this is helpful, it would be significantly more valuable if the timestamp were recognized as a proper time marker (e.g., @time), allowing it to appear in the timeline.
This feature would greatly benefit users like myself who track daily activity logs for productivity review and introspection. At present, timestamps are neither automatically recognized, nor does manually adding @now convert the entry into a timestamp. Enhancing this functionality could align Capacities with other productivity and bookmarking applications that integrate time and location data into their notes, enabling better context and insight.
Moreover, many Capacities users already utilize "Places/Map" objects. Integrating this feature would allow users to tag locations (e.g., @Tokyo, @Mumbai) alongside timestamps (e.g., @now or @7:30 PM), offering a more precise representation of when and where an activity or thought occurred.
Capacities' seamless integration with popular chat and email apps makes it an exceptional tool for capturing ideas and activities. Adding timestamp recognition, whether through auto-detection or manual entry, would further enhance its usability and align it with contemporary productivity tools.
Here is the detailed ticket for this feature request: https://capacities.io/feedback/p/enhancing-temporal-context-recognition-in-daily-notes-for-data-fetched-from-chat
