Minor point, depending on your use case, but if you are working with an app that supports x-callback-url, it’s best to use a CallbackURL action step, in place of an Open URL step.

This has several advantages:

  1. Drafts will add the x-cancel, x-error, x-success parameters for you.
  2. If the app returns any values when returning to Drafts, Drafts will make those results available to scripts and further action steps (see docs for details).
  3. Drafts can wait for a response from the target app before continuing. This allows the action to be compatible with running as a batch operation on multiple drafts (using Select > Operations > Run Action in the Draft list).

In this case it would be the same URL template suggested above, just without the x-callback parameters, like:

x-devonthink://x-callback-url/createText?title=[[created]]_[[title]]&text=[[draft]]&destination=620742A8-D357-4AEE-BD64-9596D67B8F67
