With AlphaSense, you can set up a live one-way connection with your Evernote account and apply AI-powered search to your notes.

Select the Integrations experience that you see in your AlphaSense account



Legacy Integrations Experience

Notes can often date back years if not decades, containing a wealth of information and firmwide intellectual property, but can become very unwieldy to manage even with the best of naming convention and basic native search tools.

Note: Integrating internal content in AlphaSense is currently only available within our Enterprise Intelligence offering. If you'd like to learn more, please reach out to your Account Owner or via Live Help in AlphaSense.

To sync your account:

  1. Select Integrations on the top right-hand corner of the platform

  2. Select Evernote or another note-taking app, depending on what accounts you have.

  3. Click Connect Evernote to be redirected to an authorization window where you may sign in.

  4. Once authorized, you will be able to select the content you want to automatically sync from.

Upon competition, your notes will be available for viewing and managing in the My Content or Integrations section of your AlphaSense research portal. AlphaSense’s AI will automatically tag your documents and you will be able to search across internal content created by you and your peers alongside our vast collection of data sources.

Upload Actions:

Metadata Customization

Users can add or remove Tags & Tickers as metadata at the folder level during the ingestion process, offering flexibility in how content is categorized and retrieved.

Folder Synchronization

Users can synchronize entire folders, including all contained documents. Synchronization is exclusively folder-based, with direct file selection not available.


Items to note:

  • Automated Sync for Existing Folders

    • Folders and sites that have been synced will automatically undergo periodic synchronization to ensure the content remains current.

  • Manual Addition for New Folders

    • To synchronize new folders and sites from Evernote, users must manually add them, initiating the synchronization process.

  • Synchronization Frequency

    • Automatic synchronization occurs every 15 minutes, facilitating timely updates to your content.

  • File Size Limitation

    • There is a maximum size limit of 100 MB for individual files, ensuring efficient data management and transfer.

  • Supported File Types

    • Evernote integration supports specific document extensions, including .pdf, .html, .htm, .txt, .doc, .docx, .xls, .xlsx, .ppt, .pptx, .msg, .eml, .csv, .xlsb, .xlsm, .one, .tsv, and .ods, catering to a broad range of content types.

  • Account Sync Exclusivity

    • To ensure data integrity, each Evernote account can be synchronized with only one AlphaSense account at a time, prohibiting simultaneous user connections. These requirements are designed to optimize the integration process between Evernote and AlphaSense, enhancing document management, content accessibility, and collaboration capabilities within the platform.
