What an iTeam agent does with the Evernote API
Searchable procedures base
The agent answers the team's questions by searching the procedure notes and cites the note it used.
Meeting minutes saved
The agent turns the meeting summary into a note in the project notebook, with standard tags.
Loose notes organized
The agent suggests a notebook and tags for unclassified notes and applies them after approval.
Content migration
The agent helps move notes to another knowledge base, keeping titles, dates and attachments.
From the credential to the agent at work, with approval
Get the key and authorize
Request the developer key and authorize the Evernote account that will be used.
Store it in the iTeam vault
Add the token and set which notebooks each agent can read and where it can create notes.
Start with read access
Start with search and reading only and allow note creation later.

Questions about the Evernote API
Is the Evernote API free?
The API has no separate charge, but access depends on the developer key and on the limits of the account's plan.
Do I need to write code to use the Evernote API with iTeam?
Not necessarily. Once access is granted, the iTeam deployment team configures notebooks and rules.
What if I cannot get an API key?
The deployment team evaluates alternatives, such as exporting the notes to a knowledge base that the agent can query.
