Hi AppleScript users,
I am trying to write some AppleScript (or JXA) to get the attachment in Notes
to a folder. However, I am constantly encounter permission issues or expected
type errros.
function run(argv) {
const folderName = "YOUR_FOLDER_NAME_HERE";
const savePath = "/Users/yourusername/Desktop/"; // Adjust this path as
needed
const Notes = Application("Notes");
const app = Application.currentApplication();
app.includeStandardAdditions = true;
const blogFolder = Notes.folders.whose({ name: folderName })[0];
const firstNote = blogFolder.notes()[0];
let result = {
noteName: firstNote.name(),
attachmentSaved: false,
savedPath: null,
error: null
};
const attachments = firstNote.attachments();
if (attachments.length > 0) {
const firstAttachment = attachments[0];
const fullSavePath = savePath + firstAttachment.name();
try {
firstAttachment.save(fullSavePath);
result.attachmentSaved = true;
result.savedPath = fullSavePath;
} catch (error) {
result.error = `Failed to save attachment: ${error}`;
}
} else {
result.error = "No attachments found in the first note.";
}
return JSON.stringify(result, null, 2);
}
I also tried using const output = Path(...) and then run
firstAttachment.save({to: fullSavePath}); but still got type error.
Appreciate any help on how to export attachments in Apple Notes either through
AppleScript or JXA!
Thank!
