If the note in Evernote was just the task (and not a pattern or instructions) I deleted the note. I was able to port everything over to Trello using this slow method. That way I could monitor Trello, adjust the tasks as necessary, and make sure everything went. So I untagged all those notes in Evernote, and started sending over my projects, five records at a time. At least that was according to the logs in IFTTT. It seems that it did the first ten and then Evernote said, “nope”. Then I searched all my someday/maybe and active projects, set the tag, and sat back.Ībout a tenth went over. I set up a recipe that if a new tag of “Trello” was added to an Evernote note, it would create a new card in Trello. I decided to tackle Trello first, because some of my someday/maybe projects had information that I thought needed to remain in OneNote. Having already used my free recipes, I decided to pay for a month of IFTTT so I could complete this port. IFTTT is free if you use their recipes, but if you want to create more than 3 recipes of your own, you need to pay. I use it to text me when a new article goes live on the blog (so that I know it has happened), turn on the lights when I come home, add Feedly articles to Instapaper, get a digest of the daily news mailed to me, get a weather report at 6 am, and to add a “go to bed at 9” task when I had a short night.īut IFTTT connects to Evernote. IFTTT (If This Then That) is an automation tool I have used for years. And I realized that I could use automation tools to move the data from Evernote to its new home. It was chance that I got an email from IFTTT about this time. There Is No Built-In Evernote To Trello ToolĪnd going to Trello? There was nothing. I certainly didn’t want to copy and paste everything.

I suspect the recent changes at Evernote have broken it, but Microsoft isn’t supporting the tool anymore. OneNote has a tool that supposedly moves data from Evernote to OneNote. There was nothing on the web that told me how to do this. However, I was facing a major pile of pain in moving the information over. After a lot of searching and trial and error, I settled on OneNote and Trello.

When I made the decision to move away from Evernote I knew I had to find a new home for my information.
