Streamline Your Schedule: Integrating Evernote with Google Calendar via Zapier

In the modern era of productivity, integration is the keyword. Tools like Evernote and Google Calendar are fundamental to managing our daily tasks and schedules. However, the true power of such tools is unleashed when they work in harmony. This is where Zapier comes into play, acting as a bridge between Evernote and Google Calendar, allowing for seamless synchronization of your notes with your schedule.

Creating a Zapier 'Zap' to connect Evernote with Google Calendar is a straightforward process that can significantly boost your efficiency. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Create a Zapier Account

   If you don't already have one, sign up for a free Zapier account at zapier.com.

2. Start a New Zap

   Once logged in, click on the 'Make a Zap!' button to initiate the process.

3. Choose Evernote as the Trigger App

   Search for Evernote within the trigger app selection and select it. You'll then be prompted to choose a specific trigger from the options provided, such as 'New Note' or 'New Notebook'.

4. Connect Your Evernote Account

   You'll need to give Zapier permission to access your Evernote account. Follow the prompts to log in and authorize Zapier.

5. Set up Trigger

   Depending on your selected trigger, you'll need to specify which notebook or note will be the point of initiation for your Zap.

6. Choose Google Calendar as the Action App

   Now, search for Google Calendar and select it as the action that follows the Evernote trigger.

7. Connect Your Google Calendar Account

   Just like with Evernote, you'll need to authorize Zapier to manage your Google Calendar.

8. Customize Your Google Calendar Event

   Choose what information from Evernote you wish to include in your Google Calendar event. You can map details such as the note title to the event summary and note content to the event description.

9. Test the Zap

   Zapier will offer the option to test your setup. Make sure to verify that all details are transferring correctly.

10. Name and Turn on Your Zap: Give your Zap a name that you'll remember, such as 'Evernote to Google Calendar', and switch it on.

Congratulations! You've now established a digital bridge that will automatically update your Google Calendar with details from your Evernote notes. This integration saves time, reduces manual entry errors, and most importantly, keeps your scheduling in sync.

Keep in mind that while the basic Zapier plan offers plenty of functionality, there are premium plans for more complex workflows or higher volume tasks, which may further optimize your productivity.
