If you have data in FileMaker, or import it from another source, you can send record data to Evernote very quickly using this the 'Perform AppleScript' script step.

However, AppleScript was much faster at importing at the rate of about 3 notes per second.

I’ve already written about the potential that AppleScript can bring to FileMaker.

AppleScript is a great way to control your Mac and FileMaker is a great database tool.

Together you can do a lot of useful things.

Using AppleScript to send FileMaker data to Apple Notes App | Learning Claris FileMaker | Scoop.it
