Note Links

Link directly to individual notes from anywhere

There are currently three types of links to notes offered by Evernote.

  • Note Links
  • In-App Note Links
  • Public Links

Note Links are used to reference a note in a web browser that when the recipient of the link already has access via notebook or individual note sharing. In-App Note Links also known as ‘Classic Note Links’ are used to reference a note in Evernote clients like when notes are linked to from within other notes and to open notes in a Evernote client in situations were it is known that the user already has access to the note. Public Links are used to share a note with users who do not already have access though a web browser. Public links give access to view the note regardless of the share settings. The user can then save that note to their Evernote account. Public Links can be disabled by the user on a individual basis.

Before we dive into the structure of a link we should first take a look at the components of the links:

  • userID- the ID of the user, it should be stated that unless otherwise noted the user ID referenced below is that of the of the owner of that note. If you are only handling a single user's notes, this is simply the user id. The userId can be obtained by calling the getUser method on the userStore object and inspecting the id attribute of the resulting user object.

  • shardId - the ID of the shard the note is on. If you're dealing with a single user and their notes, this is the user's shard ID, eg 's29' or 's350”. The shardId can be obtained by calling the getUser method on the userStore object and inspecting the shardId attribute of the resulting user object. Please note that the shard ID will be different for business notes, notes that have been shared to the user, and notes from a notebook that has been shared with the user.

  • noteGuid - the GUID of the note being linked to. This can been obtained by inspecting the guid attribute of the note object you wish to share (note: you must call the createNote method on the note object before the guid attribute will be available).


Note Links

Note Links are used to reference a note in a browser when the recipient of the link already has access via notebook or individual note sharing.

Structure

https://[service]/shard/[shardId]/nl/[userId]/[noteGuid]/

Where:

  • [service] is the name of the Evernote service (either sandbox.evernote.com or www.evernote.com)
  • [userId] is the user ID of the notebook owner
  • [shardId] is the shard ID where the note is stored
  • [noteGuid] is the GUID of the note that is being linked to

Example:

Evernote Google Calendar Integration

Access is only granted if the recipient of the note link already has access to the note or to the notebook from which it is being shared. If the user is already logged into a Evernote account that has access to the note the note will open in the browser. If the user is not logged in they will be prompted to login to view the note:

Once the recipient has logged in the note will be opened in the browser (the note may also open in their Evernote client if they have enabled this feature the first time the recipient viewed a shared note via a Share Link).

If the recipient does not have access to the note the recipient is presented with the option to request permission to view the note:

This is useful when you know the recipient already has access to the note and do not wish to share the note publicly. Note links can be generated by the user by right clicking on a note and selecting “Copy Note Link”.

Evernote App Integration

In-App Note Links

In-app links are used within the Evernote application to link to a note from within another notes. In-app Links can also induce the launching and subsequent opening of the desired note in an Evernote client from other applications. All note links start with “evernote:///“ Classic note links allow applications to reference a specific note within an Evernote client application. They can be used to link from one note to another or to allow easy access to a note from another context, such as a calendar invitation. Note links can reference a note, both synchronized and local, within a user's account as well as a note in a shared notebook that the user has read access to. It is important to note that classic note links will only work on a computer or device that has an up-to-date Evernote client application installed.

Structure

evernote:///view/[userId]/[shardId]/[noteGuid]/[noteGuid]/

Where:

Evernote App Pc

  • [userId] is the user id of the notebook owner
  • [shardId] is the shard id of the notebook owner
  • [noteGuid] is the guid of the note that is being linked to

Please note that the note GUID is listed at the end of the link twice, sequentially.

Examples:

or when embedded in HMTL or ENML:

If this link is opened in a browser it will open the Evernote application and if the note is present in the users account it will open that specific note. If the user does not have access to the note an error message from the Evernote application will appear informing the user that the note could not be found.

On Evernote Desktop clients (OS X and Windows) these links are generated when a note link is copied and pasted into another note and when a user right clicks on a note and holds down the alt or option key and selects “Copy Classic Note Link”.

Public Links are used to share a note with users who do not already have access to the note and is intended to open in a browser.

Structure:

https://[service]/shard/[shard ID]/sh/[noteGuid]/[shareKey]/

Where:

  • [service] is the name of the Evernote service (either sandbox.evernote.com or www.evernote.com)
  • [shardId] is the shard ID where the note is stored
  • [noteGuid] is the GUID of the note that is being linked to
  • [shareKey] is the share key of the note. The shareKey is generated by calling the shareNote method on the noteStore object with the parameters authenticationToken and the guid of the note to be shared.

Examples:

This is useful when publish notes to external site outside your workspace like social media or a blog. Public links can be generated by the user by clicking on the button next to the “Share” button and selecting “Copy Public Link” in Evernote's desktop clients.

Evernote Shortened URLs

You may notice when copying links from within Evernote clients that the URLs do not take the form of any of those described above. Evernote has a URL shortening service built in to reduce the complexity and length of Evernote share URLs to allow for easier sharing. These shortened URLs automatically redirect to the note links described above. Currently there is no public API for the Evernote share URLs shortening service. Shortened URL take the form:

https://[service]/l/[random string]

Example:

Life is hectic and schedules are packed, which is why we practically live on our calendars. And Evernote users need access to their notes at all times. But if we’re continuously looking between Evernote and our calendar every day, it’s easy for important meetings or notes to fall through the cracks.

Some calendars have note-taking features. Some note-taking apps have a calendar. But they’re never quite as good as their true specialty. Since we’re pretty comfortable with our calendars of choice, is there a way to combine these two tools?

App

Luckily, some of the most popular calendars in the world can be synced with Evernote. This lets you assign dates to to-do lists and notes. We’re going to cover how to sync calendars like Google and Outlook, the apps that make it easier, and how to juggle the endless scheduling of modern life.

So how do we create an effective Evernote calendar?

What is Evernote and what is it good for?

Evernote is a multi-platform note-taking application. It saves notes, to-do lists, images, media, and even webpages in a central location on the cloud. These notes can be organized into customizable folders called notebooks. Notes can be tagged like a blog, allowing you to sort and search your notes by topic.

It’s relatively easy to use, and there are tons of helpful Evernote tutorials online. Notes are stored in the cloud and accessible anywhere. Even the free version syncs with two devices. It also comes with a helpful feature called Evernote Web Clipper. The Web Clipper is a Chrome extension that lets you grab things from the internet and send them to your notebooks.

This includes straight or simplified versions of any website. This is particularly useful with cluttered websites that you need to reference often.

We’re not here to sell you Evernote, which has its own ups and downs. And, unfortunately, there is no native Evernote calendar. Instead, we’re here to help you combine two workflows into one without uprooting your entire calendar or notebook.

Connecting Google Calendar with Evernote Calendar

Google Calendar is one of the most popular calendars in the world. It’s useful, packed with features, and compatible with everything. Combining it with Evernote makes perfect sense.

The low-tech solution is to just grab your Evernote link and paste it into a calendar event. However, it’s much faster to automate the process. Plus, these applets create links both ways. Changes in Evernote can sync to the calendar, and vice versa.

Creating an Evernote Calendar journal from Google Calendar events

The following techniques use the IFTTT applet to customize both your Google Calendar and your Evernote.

App

IFTTT (“If This Then That”) helps you create conditional statements that can link your calendar and your Evernote for a number of different purposes.

If you’re interested in creating a journal in your Evernote that records your Google Calendar events, simply go to the IFTTT page linked here, or search for it on the main IFTTT page. They will ask for permission to access your Google Calendar: simply follow all of the click-throughs to get to a page that looks like this:

Evernote App Integration

From there, follow the prompts and dropdowns to specify which calendar you’d like to create a journal from: contacts, birthdays, a work calendar, a personal calendar, etc.

You can choose the time you want the journal entry made in Evernote. It comes with four settings: 0 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, and 45 minutes after the event enters the calendar.

From there, the applet shows you a template of how the journal entry will look. You can customize the name of the new journal notebook and add tags to the journal note.

Samuel gompers facts. Then, click the big “Save” button. It will offer a confirmation prompt, and then your new Evernote/Google Calendar event journal is good to go.

These journals are useful for looking at your schedule long-term. You can see how much time you’ve spent in meetings. You can judge the length of those meetings against their usefulness. You can also use the generated journals for work reports or to account for your time on projects.

Creating Evernote calendar reminders for Google events

Again, we’ll be using IFTTT to create a simple script. This script creates events in Google Calendar for reminders you make in Evernote.

First, navigate to the recipe page and click the “Connect” button. Follow any permission, authorization, and Google login prompts.

Choose which calendar you’d like the Evernote reminders to go to and click save. The best part is you can create these reminders for different calendars. Make a reminder in Evernote about your new co-worker’s birthday and send it right to the birthday calendar, for example.

Both of these methods allow you to send the most useful data between Evernote and Google Calendar.

Syncing Apple Calendar and Evernote Calendar

While Google’s calendar is generally considered more powerful, Apple’s 50% mobile market share means many people still use its native calendar. And while it does sync with iCloud, it doesn’t natively talk to Evernote.

IFTTT allows iPhone and iOS users to sync between Apple Calendar and Evernote. The process is similar to syncing with Google, with small differences. Namely, the need to download the IFTTT app to an iOS device. If you work on multiple devices, you’ll need to download the app to each one.

You can sync reminders and to-do lists and even create Siri integration with Evernote. Consider, too, the widespread nature of the Apple environment. If you have an iPhone, an Apple Watch, and an Apple Smart Home, connecting your existing Evernote account means true accessibility.

Syncing iOS reminders with an Evernote list

This IFTTT recipe will push reminders you create in the iOS calendar into a checklist on Evernote.

Navigate to the IFTTT page linked above and press “connect.” A pop-up will then ask for your phone number to send you an IFTTT download link. You have to download the IFTTT to your device for full integration.

Next, you’ll see a screen to customize how your reminders will look in the Evernote checklist.

Fields for Title, the To-do list entry, choice of Notebook, and Tags can be altered or kept as-is. Then, click “Save,” and the reminders you create on your iPhone will jump right to a clickable checklist in Evernote.

Integrating Siri and Evernote

If you don’t physically add calendar reminders and prefer voice command, there’s a different IFTTT recipe. This feature also requires the IFTTT app on your Apple device. So, go to the recipe page, click connect, and fill out the following:

Once the app is downloaded and installed, the process is straightforward. When Siri adds a reminder through voice command, it triggers the applet. In the recipe page, you can name the list, title the note, and customize the body with simple HTML tags. Again, the tags and the name of the notebook can be tailored to your organization style.

Creating notes for iOS Calendar events

Want Evernote notebooks for the calendar events that appear in your iOS Calendar? These notebooks are useful for notes taken during a call or for reflections after. They can even become a loose client database or home for your staff meeting notes.

The first step is to go to the IFTTT recipe page. Click “connect.” The next page specifies how the details from the event will import into Evernote.

Next, choose the calendar name. Shift team meeting calendars into one notebook, client meetings into another, however you want to arrange your calendar. Again, using this recipe multiple times on different calendars may be a good idea. Choose a notebook, then tag with words like “meeting,” “birthday,” or “client.” These tags make organization in Evernote extremely granular.

Click “Save” when you’re done.

Connecting Outlook’s Calendar to Evernote

Microsoft’s Outlook calendar is commonly used in offices everywhere. It has a huge install base⁠—over 400 million users, in fact. If you are taking Evernote into the workplace, which comes with its own complications, these two can be combined to create something better.

Zapier connects Outlook and Evernote

Zapier is extremely similar to IFTTT in that it’s an applet that creates customized scripts for a ton of different purposes.

Zapier creates custom triggers for every possible combination of Evernote and Outlook’s calendar that you might need. Basically, you decide a trigger (what starts up Zapier) and the action that will occur when the event is triggered—simple if-then conditional statements. They look like this in the Zapier interface:

On the left is the “trigger,” which can be changed in the dropdown menu by the arrows on the right. The right is the “event.”

In the example, we’ve decided that when a new email is created in Outlook (the trigger), a note is created in Evernote with details on the email. You could also have a “New Notebook” created when you “Create a Contact” in Outlook. This would start a new file on a client. Or when you set a “New Reminder” in Evernote, it creates an event in Outlook.

Below are just some of the various triggers and events. They can be mixed and matched in Zapier for whatever situation you can dream up.

Once you’ve chosen your trigger and your event, click the big blue button—“Connect Evernote + Microsoft Office.” Then, follow any login prompts for either service.

Now you’re synced, connected, and ready to spend less time shuffling between apps to make your day work.

Other Apps for Evernote Calendar Integration

There are a few other apps that combine Evernote with your calendar. They’re simple to use and take the pressure off you.

Cronofy and zzBots both use similar visual interfaces to connect your calendar with Evernote. You have the freedom to pick and choose the apps that match your workflow. And both Zapier and IFTTT can be used for Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple Mail, and dozens of other platforms.

No matter your platform, there is a program, applet, or script that can turn Evernote into more than just a note-taking service. This would be much easier if Evernote had its own calendar, but until then, these workarounds should do the trick.
