Gmail to Evernote with Google Scripts

March 09, 2017

The Gmail to Evernote program will automatically send your Gmail message to your Evernote account using Google Scripts. It reads the various parameters from a Google sheet (like the default tag name and Evernote notebook name) and forwards the matching email threads to Evernote using the GmailApp service.

var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();

var params = sheet.getRange('D3:D7').getValues();

// Gmail Label name to Monitor
var label = GmailApp.getLabelByName(params[1][0].trim().replace(/\\s+/g, '-'));

var threads = label.getThreads();

for (var t in threads) {
  var messages = threads[t].getMessages();

  // Forward the latest message in the thread to Evernote
  var message = messages[messages.length - 1];

  // Append the Evernote notebook and tag to the subject
  var subject = [message.getSubject(), params[2][0], params[3][0]].join(' ');

  try {
    message.forward(params[0][0], { subject: subject });
  } catch (f) {
    Logger.log(f.toString());
  }

  // Trash the message after forwarding to Evernote
  if (params[2][0].match(/y/i)) {
    threads[t].moveToTrash();
  } else {
    threads[t].removeLabel(label);
  }
}
