Hey guys, still a newbie, but I am learning, I swear!
I found this awesome folder action script for Evernote, and it works great. I use it all the time.
Now I was trying to figure out how to adjust it for my automator workflow that I am working on.
What I want it to do is NOT prompt me to choose the notebook or tags. All I want it to do when I add a file to the folder is to automatically add it to one of my notebooks (“Changes Log”). For instance if I drop a text file into the folder, then what I want it to do is automatically file it in Evernote in my notebook called “Changes Log”. That’s all.
How do I got about doing this?

property EVnotebook : ""
