![]() Along with the front end stuff people love/hate, there is a backend mountain to climb. That was 10 years ago and it is now part of the mountain of technical debt that Evernote is trying to clear. It was the methods they were usually internally to the company and not some subset created for developers to access (see list). When Evernote built its current API, it was actually quite unique. What's actually easy is to just say something is easy even when a user has no real idea of it all (even if they work in IT or are one of tens of millions of programmers). These are but just a few examples of hundreds in these forums. " this simple function (and I am a soft dev so yes, it's simple)" (Even though they would be totally easy to do)" " I've been messaging support for more than one year now about it and I keep getting promises, but they're never implemented. " I just solved the problem in a line of code." ![]() "This just seems like a very easy change, and I find it odd that these settings are ignored" Like how hard it is to share a note as a text message, pdf or email, instead of as a link to a Evernote. It would be so easy to make it better and perfect the workfl ow. " There is plenty of other issues like this. The hard part has been done already, which was building the feature. an integration tools would be the radios that provide the contact between the helicopter and the jeeps, and the API would basically be the instructions the helicopter gives. Pleexy and other integration tools provide a way of integrating with different task managers, and they already do so.įollowing the helicopter view metaphor, add a lot of jeeps in land, driving the herds. The Evernote team would just have to add Tasks to the already open API, and that's about it. Linking all that together is IMHO not a solution, it is a nightmare.īut go ahead and propose it to EN - this is what the feedback function is meant for. In task managers there is no clear market leader, and every app runs significantly different approaches. ![]() One will release a new version, another will restructure the back end, the next one switches from an own cloud to the big ones (like iCloud), or back, etc. Think it from a helicopter view: There are herds in the plains, each one moving on its own. Much more business process is becoming automated and with connectors like Zoho Flow and Zapier becoming more popular I think it's a 'must' at some point for Evernote to update the API. I then need to check Evernote Home a few times a day to see if a new Flow Note has been created. Instead of creating a task these systems create a note via email that's tagged #Flow (I use Zoho Flow for automations). When I receive a payment via Stripe a task could be created 3 days later to check the bank to see if money has arrived. My CRM could create lead follow ups for 7/14 & 21 days after a lead is generated. My invoice software creates over 200 recurring invoices every year and it would be nice to connect my Invoice software with EN so a task is created for me to check and send an invoice. Pretty sure the email option is coming from what folks have said. I have a lot of business automations setup as It saves me so much time and being able to create tasks via the API or email would be a huge plus. notes are indeed actionable with a task(s) added but tasks are also standalone without any note needed. Yes, I could create the tasks in my task manager and then link back to the note, but in this world of technology, why not have the computer do the work? ![]() That way if I complete the task in my task manager, it shows as done the next time I review the meeting notes. Plus Pleexy has the ability to keep the task status (done or not done) in sync between my task manager and EN. Pleexy provides the ability to automatically pull all of my tasks, across notes, into my task manager (into specific projects) so that I can incorporate those tasks in with the rest of my to dos. But I would suggest that Evernote paired with a task manager can.Īs others on the string have said, I take meeting notes in EN (love the new calendar integration for this), but when I have 2 or 3 meetings back to back or 5 or 6 meetings in a day, I don't have time to go through all of my notes and pull out the tasks from each one. I agree that a task manager alone can't make notes actionable. This is something a task manager can hardly do. The main idea behind EN tasks is to make notes actionable. ![]()
