(Archived) Email content to a specific note within a notebook

[andrewjnp 0]

I keep a daily journal on Evernote and as it is sometimes hard to open the note at the top so I might insert a new entry I wondered if it made more sense to email the item identifying both the notebook and the specific note.

I know the @ symbol allows me to send it to a notebook but how can I send the item to a specific note within a notebook.

Thank you

AFAIK, no.

You cannot send an email to a specific note.

What you will have to do is send it to Evernote and then merge the two notes.

The Merge feature allows you to put the newest one first.

I believe this is possible from email -> http://ifttt.com -> append to Evernote.

It involves another step, and it might just addict you to ifttt

The trick is to send an email to ifttt using the same exact email address that you signed up to them with. I suggest the trigger <Email> "Send IFTTT an email tagged" (#Journal), then the response <Evernote> "Append to note" and fill in the details of the note you want to create.

I created a recipe for this, and you can customize it to some extent or create your own from scratch. You can also make it so you can send an SMS->Evernote, amongst many, many other options. But given the diary thing, SMS->IFTTT->Evernote makes sense!
