Quickly Save your Gmail Messages in Evernote with a Google Sheet
our Evernote account has a secret email address and any email message
forwarded to this address is automatically archived as a new note in
one of your Evernote notebooks. You can forward PDFs, travel receipts,
audio clips, images and other important emails to this email address and
they will be archived forever in your Evernote account.
Let’s see how:
Later, if you wish to stop the Google sheet from forwarding your Gmail messages to Evernote, simply click the Stop button. Also, please note that you should only specify tag and notebook names that already exist in your Evernote. If they do not existing, the email will get saved in your default Evernote notebook.
You can send emails from Gmail to your Evernote account manually or you can use services like Zapier or IFTTT
to automate the task of creating notes in Evernote from your Gmail
mailbox. For instance, you can star a message in Gmail and it is sent to
Evernote. Or can you apply the label Evernote to a message inside Gmail and IFTTT will forward the message with attachments to Evernote.
While
it is easy to integrate Gmail and Evernote with the help of external
services, a downside is that you would need to grant full access to your
Gmail mailbox to a third party service. If you are not happy doing
that, there’s an alternate solution that uses Google Sheets and it can
be implemented in less than a minute. Let’s see how:
Send Gmail Messages to Evernote
- Click here to copy the Gmail to Evernote spreadsheet in your Google Drive.
- Put your Evernote email address (help) and other values in column D. Refer to the illustrated screenshot for details.
- Now click the Start button, authorize the script and it will run in the background. Close the sheet and any messages in Gmail with the label Evernote (cell D4) will be sent to your Evernote in specified notebook and tag.
Later, if you wish to stop the Google sheet from forwarding your Gmail messages to Evernote, simply click the Stop button. Also, please note that you should only specify tag and notebook names that already exist in your Evernote. If they do not existing, the email will get saved in your default Evernote notebook.
