DEVONthink user Stephen Millard has created an automation for importing documents. On his blog ThoughtAsylum, he explains how he uses AppleScript folder actions and the app Dropzone to import and file documents in certain databases and groups in DEVONthink.

His post is a good example of an automation that Stephen created through tinkering and trial and error. It is interesting to see how he describes his work process, where he tried different approaches and finally found a good solution. Stephen shares the script in his post so you can use it or study it in detail if you’re interested in scripting. Check out Stephen’s blogpost here.
