Creating a Custom Shortcut for Evernote

In this mini-tutorial, you create a custom shortcut named Staff that targets the Staff Meetings notebook in your Evernote account and applies the Offsite tag, and sends a simple PDF only (without attached audio).

  1. Click Add Shortcut.
  2. Enter a name for the shortcut. In this example, enter: Staff.
  3. Click the down-arrow in the Connector column and select the Evernote Connector.

    The Notebook link appears.

  4. Click Notebook and enter the name of the Evernote notebook to which content should be sent. In this example, enter Staff Meetings.

    If you do not specify a valid Evernote notebook in this text box, the Evernote Connector uses the default notebook you specified on the Evernote web site or Evernote desktop app.

  5. Click the Tags link and enter one or more Evernote tags that should be applied to your content when it reaches your Evernote notebook.

    In this example, enter: OffSite.

    If you do not enter anything in this text box, the Evernote Connector applies no tags to the content.

    If you enter text that does not match existing tags in your Evernote account, the Evernote Connector creates new tags based on this text.

  6. Click the down-arrow in the Format column.

    The menu contains available formats for the Connector.

  7. Select the desired format from the menu. In this example, select PDF.
  8. Click Save.
  9. (optional) Log in to Evernote and create a notebook called Staff Meetings.
