When you pair Evernote with automation tools like Zapier or IFTTT (if this, then that), the robust platform for clipping notes, archiving receipts and saving just about anything becomes even more powerful. Through simple automation, there are dozens of ways to extend the functionality of popular platforms like Evernote.
