Nodrog 4 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hi Everyone, I am implementing a "rules engine" in the form of a web-application. The rules are composed of a filter and an action. Thus far I have implemented filters on note metadata. You can match on the Note Name, Text, Date, Size, Tag, Folder, or custom Checkboxes (generated from within Action Rules). Actions implemented thus far are Move or Copy Note, Add or Remove Tag, Add or Remove AR-Checkbox, Check or Un-Check AR-Checkbox.I am currently making adjustments so that image recognition data, and office document data will be included for searching along with the metadata. Additional actions I am considering are "assign reminder", document conversion (like Word to PDF), and maybe some form of encryption. What do you think of these? What additional filters do you think would be valuable to add to this system? What additional actions do you think would be valuable to add to this system? Thank-you, Perryn Gordon Link to comment
Laurent Sarrazin 67 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 OK, currently testing your app (well it's syncing right now). In the meantime, here are the filters I had in mind for my own app : - location : if the note has been created at home or while traveling, do something- creation/modification date : if a note is created/modified after midnight, give it chocolate- url- attachment (and type of attachment)- size- notebook : if the note is created in a specific notebook, apply a specific tag- notebook is in stack (cf. above example)- author- shared : if the note is shared, do something Actions :- change the title- change the body- set location- add url- add attachment- remove attachment- share- send by email- tweet ? facebook ?

Laurent Sarrazin 67 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I can't seem to use your app right now.I logged in, authorized your app to access my sandbox account and then I get a 'error main.js :: checkEvernoteSyncState()' error dialog. Laurent Link to comment
Nodrog 4 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi Laurent, Thank-you for the ideas, those are great! I think I read somewhere that third-party apps are not supposed rename notes though. I will certainly implement many of these, the location one is especially interesting. The chocolate action might have to be a premium upgrade. Awesome ! thanks, Perryn Link to comment
Nodrog 4 Posted July 7, 2013 Author Share Posted July 7, 2013 @Laurent, Thanks for letting me know about that error, I will track down the problem and let you know when it's fixed. Perryn Link to comment
Level 5* phils 220 Posted July 8, 2013 Level 5* Share Posted July 8, 2013 Nodrog, I think I read somewhere that third-party apps are not supposed rename notes though. Not sure what you were reading, but there should be no reason why you couldn't rename a note (i.e. change the note's Title). Link to comment
Nodrog 4 Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 @phils I was reading this : http://dev.evernote.com/trunk/best_practices.php I cannot imagine a technical reason why renaming a note is problem, but one might interpret "The integration should not rename any existing user data." as a warning against renaming a note (or other objects).

Thank-you! Perryn Link to comment
AndyDent 97 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I have added a question over in the development forum to clarify the renaming issue. Link to comment
