Evernote Get Notes Activity

Introduction

An Evernote Get Notes activity, using its Evernote connection, retrieves notes from Evernote and is intended to be used as a source to provide data in an operation.

Create an Evernote Get Notes Activity

An instance of an Evernote Get Notes activity is created from an Evernote connection using its Get Notes activity type.

To create an instance of an activity, drag the activity type to the design canvas or copy the activity type and paste it on the design canvas. For details, see Create an Activity Instance in Component Reuse.

An existing Evernote Get Notes activity can be edited from these locations:

Configure an Evernote Get Notes Activity

Follow these steps to configure an Evernote Get Notes activity:

Step 1: Enter a Name and Notebook Name

In this step, provide a name for the activity and specify the notebook name. Each user interface element of this step is described below.

Tip

Fields with a variable icon Variable icon support using global variables, project variables, and Jitterbit variables. Begin either by typing an open square bracket [ into the field or by clicking the variable icon to display a list of the existing variables to choose from.

  • Name: Enter a name to identify the activity. The name must be unique for each Evernote Get Notes activity and must not contain forward slashes / or colons :.

  • Notebook Name: Enter the name of the Evernote notebook.

  • Save & Exit: If enabled, click to save the configuration for this step and close the activity configuration.

  • Next: Click to temporarily store the configuration for this step and continue to the next step. The configuration will not be saved until you click the Finished button on the last step.

  • Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Step 2: Review the Data Schemas

Any request or response schemas are displayed. Each user interface element of this step is described below.

  • Data Schemas: These data schemas are inherited by adjacent transformations and are displayed again during transformation mapping.

    The Evernote connector uses the Evernote Cloud API. Refer to the API documentation and Evernote's Data Model for information on the schema nodes and fields.

  • Refresh: Click the refresh icon Refresh icon or the word Refresh to regenerate schemas from the Evernote endpoint. This action also regenerates a schema in other locations throughout the project where the same schema is referenced, such as in an adjacent transformation.

  • Back: Click to temporarily store the configuration for this step and return to the previous step.

  • Finished: Click to save the configuration for all steps and close the activity configuration.

  • Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Next Steps

After configuring an Evernote Get Notes activity, complete the configuration of the operation by adding and configuring other activities, transformations, or scripts as operation steps. You can also configure the operation settings, which include the ability to chain operations together that are in the same or different workflows.

Menu actions for an activity are accessible from the project pane and the design canvas. For details, see Activity Actions Menu in Connector Basics.

Evernote Get Notes activities can be used as a source with these operation patterns:

A typical use case is to use an Evernote Get Notes activity in the Transformation Pattern. In this example, the Evernote Get Notes activity generates a response structure that is received by the transformation (Get Notes Response), which is then written to a variable by a Variable Write activity (Write Get Notes Response) and a message is then logged by the Write to Operation Log script:

To use the activity with scripting functions, write the data to a temporary location and then use that temporary location in the scripting function.

When ready, deploy and run the operation and validate behavior by checking the operation logs.
