Automatically send Gmail messages to Evernote and set multiple tags and a reminder

[elifarley 1]

For me, the best way to selectively send email messages from Gmail into Evernote is by using Harry's script:

Basically you use Gmail labels to choose which Evernote notebook will receive the message and to add your own Evernote tags.

 

However, I needed a bit more, so I changed his script so that:

 

1) I can set a custom EN reminder based on Gmail labels

2) I can have certain EN tags automatically add a reminder (example: if the EN note gets the tag "important", then it will get a reminder for "tomorrow". To do that, simply set the user property "tag2reminder" to  "important=tomorrow" )

3) I can have one Gmail filter that will create a notebook with multiple tags in it and an optional reminder. So there's no need to create one Gmail filter for each EN tag you want, as is usually the case.

 

Here's my setup:

 

Create these 'root' labels on your Gmail account (you can change their names if needed):

[Evernote Notebooks]

[Evernote Reminders]

[Evernote Tags]

 

Then, create as many sub-labels as you want inside those root labels:

 

[Evernote Notebooks]

  Main

  Travel

  Bills

  (and so on...)

 

[Evernote Reminders]

  1week

  today

  tomorrow

 

[Evernote Tags]

  !!Today

  !Next

  development

  personal

  per-hobby

  per-photo

  finance

  fin-bill

  fin-invoice

  location

  loc-san-francisco

  loc-ny

  loc-australia

 

Now for applying multiple EN tags, create something like this:

[Evernote Tags]

  fin-invoice+loc-australia

 

And if you want to add a reminder at the same time:

[Evernote Tags]

  fin-invoice+loc-australia+important

 

 

And here's my modified script:

Hope that helps!

Using a MAC with gmail, I can select one email and, using the web clipper, send to my EN account to a selected EN notebook.

 

If I try to select multiple emails the web clipper treats them as one article instead of individual emails.

 

I saw a video where they were using Outlook and there was a "Add to Evernote" button that made the multiple email task simple and sent

individual emails. Am I missing something or is this a MAC issue.

Hi Elifarley,

I am not into coding but really want to use your script. Is there a simple non-technical way of doing it? I could not figure out from your post or on clicking the script- what do i do next? 

 

Thanks in advance!

Wow - that script/project looks really promising, can't wait to dig into it.

 

I'm guessing the GScript trigger that runs in Gmail every c. 15 minutes should call the function readEvernote from ReadMail.gs?

 

And, THANKS!
