I have just tried and it work find with the current build that you can download here.

 

Note, however: change the template title to Teaching (id_Teaching)

 

Please read details about templates advanced features here.

 

Finally, here is what you have to type in Alfred:

 

ennt Teaching (id_Teaching)|Math|Book|Numbers

 

OK?

 

PS: nice template!

Carlos,

That worked like a charm. I guess I was confused on how to name the templates and the syntax to activate it. Your example was very helpful.

Thanks!

Ed

Please, try this build.

 

The keyword enn should indicate whether the clipboard content is text or an image.

 

If it finds and image then it will be attached to the note.

 

Append should also work with an image from the clipboard.

 

 

 

Please, try this build.

 

• keyword ennt for templates
• added a special Help for templates
• the ID is completely optional if you want to use ennt %
• added Last Used Template menu item
• read more about templates features here

 

Hi Carlos,

I am still having trouble with using my template and filling in the fields. My template can be found at the link below. Could you try it out and see if you can make it work for yourself?

Thanks,

So far I have added 3 ways to work with a template:

Usage 1 - Simple

• Show Alfred
• Type the keyword enn
• Highlight New Note from Template and hit return key
• Select the template from the list
• A new empty note window will be displayed

Usage 2 - Intermediate

• Show Alfred
• Type the keyword enn
• Type the note template title (or a part of it enough to be found. See id suggestion below)
• Highlight New Note from Template and hit return key
• A new empty note window will be displayed

Usage 3 - Advanced

This is to really automate the process.

The first step is to create a special template as seen below:

The template note title can be anything but if you optionally add an id (as seen above) the workflow will create a new note with the same template title but without the id. This way it will be easier to see what is the template and what is the note created based on it.

You can use the id approach in Usage 2 too.

Note that the id is like the one above e.g.: (id:cts)

In addition to a different title the template can optionally have placeholders so you can fill a note directly from Alfred. Here is an example:

enn id:cts |Carlos |000-000 |World Cup Ticket

The placeholder |1 will be replaced by Carlos; the |2 by 000-000 and the |3 by World Cup Ticket.

I hope I was clear...

Download

Evernote 8.81

Carlos,

Love the template functionality. What characters for the placeholders. I have tried the "pipe" symbol and lowercase L but neither seems to be working for me... I probably just have the wrong place holder in my template. Also what character are you suing when you type the note to delimit the placeholder?

Thanks!

Ed

The screenshot indicates an error while processing the list.

 

I can’t reproduce it here though.

 

However, the build below tries to isolate the error.

 

In addition, before installing the new build:

 

• make sure you are using Alfred 2.3 or later
• go to Alfred Preferences and delete the workflow
• restart Evernote app and make it synchronize
• download and install the new workflow version: link
• make some tests

If you see an error please let me know what it was and give me a step by step so I can try to replicate it.

 

In addition, does the keywords ent and ens work for you?

 

Finally, set Automatic in the workflow preferences (keyword enpref) if you’d like searching always with a wildcard or place an asterisk at the end of your query e.g. ens el*

After following your steps, everything seems to be working. Thank you!  Loving all the updates and features!

Can you please test the build below? Thank you.

 

Download Evernote 8.61

Carlos,

I am having some trouble with the Append functionality. Perhaps I am doing it wrong but when I follow the steps in the help section, it doesn't list any notes for me to choose. After I hit command-enter, the only options available are search engines. None of my notes from Evernote are appearing even though I know there are matches to what is typed so far. See image.... (by the way, I switched to Evernote download instead of app store and I just downloaded 8.61 of the workflow with the same results)

By the way... LOVING the new multiline functionality (/n)!!

Evernote workflow reaches Evernote App Center!

 

Who’s gonna nominate it?

I just nominated. Congrats!

 

Maybe then a two characters delimiter to the users can use “|” if need it. Here’s something that is fast to type:

 

enn @Notebook #Tag1 #Tag2 !Reminder : Shopping List /n Milk /n Eggs

 

The new approach will follow the main Syntax only adding a way to enter a return character.

Carlos,

I think that would work and would be very usable! 

Great stuff! Thank you!

Ed

Thank you Ed.

 

Right now the note content will also be the note title.

 

I’m still thinking about an improved way to type note directly from Alfred window. One way would be to create a new line sign (e.g. /nf) this way the workflow would take the first line as the title and format properly into Evernote. Example:

 

enn Shopping List /nf Milk /nf Eggs /nf Apples

 

The above command would appear in Evernote this way:

 

Note Title:

Shopping List

Note Content:

Milk

Eggs

Apples

 

The advantage of this approach is not only a possible custom title but also create multiple lines notes.

 

What do you think? Too complicate or it would be nice to have such alternative?

Thanks for the quick reply!  I think that is a great idea. Is it possible to use a shorter "delimiter" for a new line? Typing one character instead of three might be quicker. Something like:

enn Shopping List | Milk | Eggs | Apples @Notebook #Tag1 #Tag2 !Reminder

Would something like that work?

Ed

Hi Carlos,

Great work and very usable workflow. Quick newbie syntax question that I can't seem to figure out.  How do I type a new note directly into alfred AND have a separate title for the note. It seems everything I try duplicates the note in the title of the note. That makes for really long titles.  What am I missing?

Thanks in advance!
