10 Creative & Useful Ways To Use The Evernote Email a Note Feature

Evernote allows you to create notes by sending an email to your unique Evernote email address. It’s a great feature, if you know when and how to use it.

Step 1:
Locate your unique email address and add it to your email contacts. This is unique to your account. If anyone else has it, they too can create notes in your account. Go to https://www.evernote.com/Settings.action to find your unique email address.

Step 2:
Adjust the subject line of the message you’re forwarding. It becomes the title of your note.
Step 3:
Add tags and send the note to a specific folder by adding the following characters to the subject line of the email.  # + tag name or @ + notebook name.
Example Subject Line:
Chick-Fil-A Bfast Meeting with Pierce @Financial #receipts #takepermission
That creates a note titled Chick-Fil-A Bfast Meeting with Pierce, in the Financial notebook, tagged receipts and takepermission


Here are ten creative and useful ways to use this feature and tag suggestions:

  1. Affirmations
     How many times have you received a compliment via email? It’s a wonderful feeling. Save those affirmations for the days when you feel like a miserable bum.
    Tags: affirmation, pickmeup, irock
  2. Blogging Topics
    The next time someone asks you a question via email, you can reply as you usually do but also send it to Evernote adding a tag that reminds you that it’s a great blogging topic.
    Tags: blogtopic, FAQ
  3. Cultivate a Weekly Newsletter
    Weekly newsletters that have multiple articles are a great way to add value to your subscribers. Evernote is the perfect place to keep track of interesting articles you read. You can then search through them once a week to create a value-packed newsletter.
    Tags: newslettersource, newsletter, cultivate
  4. Track Feature Updates
    You’re busy, so you don’t read all of the emails you get about feature updates for your software. Send them to your Evernote to review when you have more time so you get the most out of your software.
    Tag: software, updates, readlater
  5. Digital receipts
     You can always take a picture of your receipt and add it to your Evernote account, but many of your receipts are digital so forward them into your account for safe keeping.
    Tags: receipt, business, expense
  6. Family Fun
    If you get newsletters from museums, zoos, your library or other family-focused organizations you can forward those to your Evernote so the next time you’re wondering what to do with the family, it’s in your Evernote!
    Tags: family, activities, kids, community
  7. Track Prospective Clients
    When you interact with a potential client, you can track all of the communications with them by forwarding them into your Evernote.
    Tags: prospect, lead
  8. Listener Feedback
    If you have a podcast or on-line, show that audience members give you feedback about then Evernote is a great place to store that feedback for future reference. You can read the feedback live on a future show or study it to make the changes they suggest.
    Tags: feedback, changes, podcast, criticism, critique
  9. Marriage Improvement
    My wife and I want to stay married forever, so we work to maintain our relationship through healthy friendships with other married couples, reading books on marriage, attending counseling when necessary, and listening to marriage podcasts together. Forwarding newsletters or articles from your favorite news app into Evernote can be good for your marriage. Try it.
    Tags: marriage, love, counseling, Sara (or your spouse’s name)
  10. Track Wisdom
    There are times you open an email and it’s full of wisdom. It’s not something you’re going to blog about right away, but you just KNOW that it’s something you want to keep handy in case you need it someday. Put it in Evernote. I do this with about 10% of Seth Godin’s blog posts, which I get via email every morning.

How To Create Evernote Notes Using Siri

Evernote is the best digital tool available for storing ideas, documents and notes across multiple devices. If you want to get the most out of Evernote then you’ll want to know the easiest ways to get information into your Evernote notebooks.Siri doesn’t have a great reputation but the more you use it the smarter it gets. When Siri is working well it can save you a tremendous amount of time. In this video you’ll learn how to create Evernote notes using Siri. It’s the fastest way to create an Evernote on an iPhone in my experience.

Add Tags For Massive Productivity

If you rely on tags like I do for making Evernote more powerful then you can also add tags when creating Evernote notes using Siri. Watch the video below for some important nuances if you do want to tag the notes you create using Siri. It’s easy if you know the rules but you’ll want to know them to make it work.

Setup Process

Here are the steps to creating an Evernote note using Siri.

  1. Find your Evernote account email address.
    On the Mac desktop app menu go to Evernote – Account Info.
  2. Add that email address as an iPhone contact.
    Tell Siri “Open Contacts” to open your Contacts app.
    Manually add the email address.
    Name the contact “Evernote” as a first name with no last name.
  3. Speak your email subject with tag and text
    1. Say “Send an email to Evernote”
    2. Siri will ask you for a subject to the email.
    3. Say the subject line of the email including “hashtag blogpost” if you want to add the tag “blogpost” to the note. You can obviously choose your own tags for your note creation.
    4. Siri will then ask for the text of the email.
    5. Siri will ask you to approve the email – Reply with “Send” if it’s correct.
