I want to be able to use the “Take a note” function on my Android to append a note to my inbox. When I receive an email that I need to take action on I just forward it to my inbox. I then add the Zapier email address to my address book so it’s available everywhere. I actually append the text “Handle email” before the subject so it shows up in the Inbox in a nicer form.
Set the Content to the email subject line. Set the note book to the name of your GTD notebook. Setup the template that maps the email content to OneNote. Give Zapier permission to access your OneNote account. Select the “Append Note” action, it might be listed under “less common options”. This will create a unique email address that you can use to send content into Zapier. Getting stuff into my inbox via Email is handled using the “ New inbound Email” trigger and the “One Note” action within Zapier. I’ll show you each of the workflows I’m using below. It’s the glue that makes my collection process easy. With Zapier and the OneNote API I could easily append items on a page. Zapier connects applications to each other via their application programming interfaces (APIs). What I settled on is building out some workflows using the service Zapier and the OneNote API. I wanted a way to get things into a single inbox in no matter where I am or what I’m doing. When I’m in a flow state and an idea pops in my head I can quickly get it into my Inbox using a number of methods. The Collection section consists of a single page labeled Inbox. It saves a few seconds every time I need those items. I also link out to Dropbox folders for things I have stored digitally. I link individual project pages to my Project list. I’ll talk about each of these in turn.Ī note about OneNote. My basic setup consists of the following.Įach of those has one or more pages within each section. OneNote organizes content in Notebooks, Sections and Pages. Customize it to suit your particular way of working (and share what you did in the comments!). 
This doesn’t represent the only way to implement GTD.
The cross platform nature of OneNote suits me really well since I have an Android, Mac and iPad and am constantly switching between each. OneNote is a great cross platform general purpose digital notebook application from Microsoft. In this article I’m going to discuss how I moved from Omnifocus to OneNote for implementing the Getting Things Done methodology.
