DCDawg 4 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I am a big fan or Workflow on iOS (see workflow.is) and decided to use it as part of my blog to save the links to articles I share on Twitter. Everything works fine including appending the link to the designated note. However, all of the information in the note is saved in plain text. I would like the link to be interpreted as a link, not just plain text. All links include the protocol designator (http:// or https://). Normally, when I copy and paste a link in Evernote it will interpret the text as a link and make it clickable. However, when I add the lines using Workflow, all I get is plain text even though the link is http://...(whatever). Is there some way that when Workflow appends the link in Evernote that it can be recognized as a link? If I convert it to an HTML message, will it be interpreted correctly? Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 11,652 Posted October 20, 2016 Level 5* Share Posted October 20, 2016 Hi. User-supported forum here (well, mainly...) so whether and how Evernote interprets active links is a little above our head. Unless someone has already resolved this and chimes in here, I'd suggest you contact support directly if you can, or message them on Twitter Link to comment

DCDawg 4 Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 If anyone is interested, I figured it out... Rather than creating the information in text, I added HTML markup tags including using the <a> tag for the link. Using Workflow's action to convert HTML to Rich Text, I converted the HTML to Rich Text and had the three lines saved as Rich Text. After running the Workflow, the information was appended to the proper note in the proper format, including the link! I wondered how I could save a webpage in the proper format. I started playing and then wrote a small stub of Rich Text (yes, I know how to manually write Rich Text format). I sent that stub to Evernote and it formatted! SIMPLE! :-) Link to comment
Luke Weaver 0 Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Do you happen to have the link to that workflow so I can see how you did it? Link to comment
