auto import notes in business account

[IggyPup 1]

Hello everyone,
I have a personal premium account for years and recently a business account, they both run on iMac, iPhone & iPad.
I am now trying to automatically import certain files into Evernote via Hazel, which partly succeeds, i.e. the files are indeed imported but always in the default notebook of my personal account ... and I want to see those files appear in a certain space and notebook on my business account.
Anyone any idea if this is possible?

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Which means you're running an Applescript that imports the file and creates a note
The notebook can be specified by code in the script; not sure about Business Accounts

Hello, thank you for your comment.
The applescript does indeed work as long as I stay within the "personal premium environment".
As soon as I refer in the script to a notebook that is in my business account, however, it goes wrong and the note is created in the standard notebook on my personal premium account.
And the intention is to create the note in a particular notebook in the business account.

Hi.  I'm not a business user,  but if you can import all the notes to your personal account in a specific notebook,  this page (apparently) explains how to move the whole notebook to the business account.

Move notes from personal to business

I can see where developers might not want anyone moving batches of notes directly into a business account - this at least gives the administrator the chance to apply some control over the format of the content...

thanks,
but that's not really the solution I'm looking for ...
My intention is to use my personal premium account exclusively for personal data in the future and the business account for all business stuff ... so no more switching between personal & business

The business account was designed for use at a business - this means several members sharing information. The sharing can be controlled, using the spaces-feature to control access. At this an Admin for the business account plays the central role.

If you are alone, 2 Premium accounts would do the same, without the overhead that comes from a business account.

With a business setup, everybody gets a free Premium account for personal use. If he leaves the business, the business data stays with the company, and the ex-employee continues with a split-off personal account, Premium or Basic. 

Maybe check whether you really need this Business-setup. If alone on both accounts, the answer is probably no.

Understood,  but that's something that will get your current task completed and allow you to raise this with Evernote Support.  As a Business subscriber you're supposed to get prime service in the Support channel...

Entirely up to you,  of course.  There's at least one other Business user around here who might have some bright ideas...

Hello,
I stored everything (both private and business) in my premium account for years, which ran perfectly as long as I only needed access. Now there's a co worker (and more on the way) who should also be able to consult that data… we resolved it for a while via shared notebooks, which by the way worked fine. Why business now? I'm struggling with my health and don't know how much longer I can manage the Evernote accounts myself smoothly… that's why I try to automate as much data storage and processing as possible… and make sure that it continues to work when, for example, my personal accounts disappear.

@IggyPupOK - this sounds like a real transition use case.

I would define what I want to do and split the data accordingly. To prepare to move data I would use notebooks, not tags, because it will probably use sharing to move notes.

Maybe you can get help from one of the other Business users here, or try support to help you on it.

On the business side, the key control element are the „spaces“. Spaces are a group of notebooks that can be accessed by a group of users. One user usually has access to several spaces, depending on his main job and other responsibilities. A notebook can belong to several spaces, this is how information can flow between spaces. The „outbox“ notebook of one space can be the „inbox“ for another. As the process moves ahead, notes are moved from notebook to notebook, collecting information.

Setting up spaces is formally a function of the admin of the business account, but to develop the structure and the flow of information is a management job. Each setup needs to be adapted to the business case of the company. There are EN certified consultants in many regions that can help to make this transition. IMHO you can save much more by shortening setting it up than the consultants fee will cost you.

Sounds good… thanks.
