- Shortcuts for Readwise sync to Apple Notes
- Consists of (2) shortcuts - The API Request and the Response Processing (Both must be used)
- Based on the shortcuts mentioned in this Reddit Thread
- Main change is accounting for 26 results per request. Added nextPageCursor loop to get all results.
- Shortcuts (Both Required):
- Readwise API Call
- Readwise Response Processing and Note Creation (Use one or the other)
- This will consolidate multiple Apple notes into a single note. By default it searches for all notes with the "consolidate" tag. Feel free to change it.
- This will import Book Notes from Apple Notes into TheBrain App. It is very specific to my book notes format, so some tweaking will be required.
Just kidding, the deletion did cause an issue after all. Would randomly tell me that locked/shared notes can't be edited so not sure what I did wrong.
Fixed it at the very end of the step two (no image) shortcut:
1. filtered to find the Base note again
2. added: IF body of base note (from above step) does not contain the text we want to append (text var from end of original version), then append that text. Nothing in the otherwise, since we want it to do nothing in that case.
Tested the edits there and seems to work as expected while still adding all highlights in their entirety when creating a new note.
Thanks so much for this! Just decided to use Readwise but was disappointed that the readwise content wouldn't show up in Spotlight search. But now, it can! Best of all the worlds. Full use of readwise features while still retaining a copy of all of it in Apple Notes.
