When in need for a notebook, being the tech geek that I am and trying to get eco-friendly, I decided to purchase a generic lcd writing pad from amazon. The biggest issue faced by users of such a writing pad is that it does not have storage. All the notes scribbles on it are wiped off with the click of a button.
The most common FAQs about these generic writing pad are whether they can store the sketches scribbled on them or not. This prompted me to believe that there is a demand for a solution to store and probably share the sketches. That is when the idea of creating a Siri Shortcut to click a picture and automatically send it to a designated EMail with timestamp in a template subject line.
Then I created a rule in my outlook inbox to automatically divert the mails containing the template subject line into a folder.
Then I purchased an NFC Tag Sticker, stuck it to the back of the writing pad and created an automation to trigger my shortcut on scanning this NFC Tag.
So this is a quick automation project that I implemented.
