5 seconds (to wait for the forwarded-message window to open) paste Joel’s email address as the text pause for. I then created a series of new actions: Type Shift-Command-F (Mail’s Forward Message shortcut) pause for. %Y.%m.%d %filltext:name=Note Subject% Receipts %Y #Educationįor example, to forward an iOS-accessory press release to our writer Joel Mathis, I created the following macro: For the trigger, I chose Hot Key Trigger from the New Trigger pop-up menu and specified Control-Option-Command-I. So I created the following snippet in TextExpander to use as the subject of my message: In Evernote I keep a notebook called Tax Receipts for every year, as well as an Education tag I also like to include date information with each note. For example: I’m going back to school this year and want to keep track of the associated expenses.
If you find yourself sending messages to the same set of notebooks and tags routinely, you can automate this tagging process with a TextExpander snippet. Similarly, you can tag the note by appending #, followed by an existing tag, to the subject. To specify a notebook where that note will be filed, adding the symbol followed by the name of an existing notebook to the subject line. The subject of the email becomes the title of the note in Evernote.
But with a little planning, you can organize and tag notes more precisely. Email messages sent to that address are usually saved in your default notebook. One thing that makes it more efficient: Evernote gives every user a unique email address, which you can use to send documents to your Evernote account. I use Evernote to store and manage all kinds of documents.
