Automated Evernote Unfiled Note Cleanup
Every Monday, WebRun opens Evernote, finds the notes still sitting in your default notebook with no tags, reads enough of each to suggest a notebook and a tag, writes the suggestions to Airtable for you to confirm, and sends the short list to you on WhatsApp.
How do I clean up the unfiled notes in my Evernote default notebook?
WebRun opens Evernote every Monday and finds the notes still sitting in your default notebook or carrying no tags. It reads each one, suggests a notebook and tag from your existing structure, writes the suggestions to Airtable for you to confirm, and sends the short list on WhatsApp, so search keeps working.
- Loose notes get filed weekly instead of piling up for years
- Search keeps working as the account grows
- Filing is a confirm step, not a re-read of every note

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it move or delete my notes?
No. WebRun reads your notes and proposes a notebook and tag in Airtable for you to confirm. Nothing is moved, retagged, or deleted in Evernote, so a wrong suggestion costs you nothing.
How does it decide which notebook fits?
It reads your existing notebook and tag names and matches each note's content against them, so suggestions use the structure you already have rather than inventing new notebooks.
What about notes I deliberately keep unfiled?
Tell it once which notes or titles to ignore, for example a running scratch note, and it skips them on every run so the weekly list stays short and useful.
