Merlin integrates easily with lots of other Mac and Windows applications. You can import, export, sync but also use applescript to connect between applications.

We’ve posted an Evernote > Merlin applescript in the past. It allows you to select notes in Evernote and import them to Merlin as file attachments to be able to view them offline and have them as part of your Merlin project.

This script is for those of you who want to transfer activities from Merlin to Evernote and create notes from an existing Merlin project. It goes throughout all activities of the top most opened project, checks if they already been synced to Evernote, if not it creates a note in related Evernote notebook, and writes there the content of the notes, names the note as the Merlin task, set expected end date of the task as creation date for the note (so one can check for it) and writes into Merlin project in the ‘additional title’ column the id of the note in Evernote in order for the script to be able to identify duplicates by re-transfers.

We don’t see how we can overwrite existing note content by applescript, so we tell the script to report existing notes and not to change them.

Feel free to download this Merlin to Evernote applescript and modify the sample as you find fitting your workflow needs at best.
