The tag for your note will be “meeting minutes”. The title of your note will be the title of your calendar event. 15 minutes prior to your scheduled event, IFTTT will create a note in Evernote.(This can be in the subject line, the body, the location, etc.) You include the term somewhere in the calendar event.
You add an item to your Google Calendar at a specified time. If you have not registered Google Calendar or Evernote with IFTTT, you will be prompted to do so. To simplify things, I have created and shared a recipe that does the automation for you. To set up this automation, you will need to make use of IFTTT (If This Then That). I have also written a post on how I use IFTTT with Evernote to “remember everything” and some of the details of that post may come in handy for this automation.įinally, this really only works if you use Google Calendar to record your meetings because right now, that is the only calendaring system that is integrated with IFTTT. The HTML text inside that template will be used in this automation. For this post, I have added a third template, called “IFTTT Meeting Template” to that public notebook. Using a “template” in Evernote for meeting minutesĪ few weeks back, I made a couple of my Evernote templates available in a public notebook. Using Google Calendar to capture your meetings. Two minutes does not sound like a lot, but when you have five or six meetings each day, you can be talking about saving more than an hour a week! Overview of the automation Saved me perhaps 2-3 minutes of prep-time before each meeting. Ensured that I am always read for a meeting when I go into it. This doesn’t sound like much but it has done two significant things for me: I thought about one practical example that has been a real boon for me over the last month or so that I’ve been doing it, and I thought I’d share it here today: automatically creating meeting minutes before the meeting begins. Some things save more time than others, but none of this automation would be possible if I still did things on paper. I’ve found dozens of things that can be automated, from the archiving of my to-do list, to the creation of my monthly reading blog posts. One of the great benefits of going paperless that I have discovered is that it allows you to automate a lot of things that–when they were done on paper–simply couldn’t be automated. 
For those of you participating in Evernote’s 30-Day Paperless Challenge, welcome to week 4!
