How this automation works

Save Readwise highlights as Evernote notes for easy reference. It runs whenever Readwise adds a new highlight and creates a note in Evernote containing the highlight text, source, author, timestamp, and a link. This is ideal for students, researchers, and knowledge workers who want highlights preserved, searchable, and synced between Readwise and Evernote.
