Certainly, if that's the preferred method.

Given that, I'm trying to get yasnippet to trigger via elisp when
capture creates the new buffer.

A template of "\n\ncontact%(yas/expand)" fails with:
condition-case: Capture abort: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p nil)


And a template of:
"\n\n%(yas/expand-snippet (yas/template-content (yas/get-template-by-uid 'org-mode \"contact\")))"

fails with:
condition-case: Capture template `c': The kill is not a (set of) tree(s) - please use <S-insertchar> to yank anyway

Anyone more familiar with elisp that can give me some insight?

Thanks.
