Good practice integrating other note taking apps - Automatically importing notes from "Notes"?

Howdy The Archive Deities,
taking notes is the key to success. While I start to use The Archive for my Zettelkasten notes, I am still using the "Notes" app on iOS to jot down some quick notes, on the web I use Zotero and I often find myself using the "Readinglist" in Safari. So is it possibly to tag my notes in "Notes"(ios/macos) and import them into the Archive? Or import tagged Zotero entries as Zettels? Or even my "Readinglist" from Safari?
Or even select photos from my image library?

Since The Archive accesses a folder full of plain text files, you can import virtually from anywhere as long as you can figure out how to create .txt files from the input.

In the case of Apple Notes, you might want to play around with AppleScript or Automator so you can customize the export-to-text-file functionality. There are also tools for this, but I haven't tried any: https://www.cultofmac.com/506155/how-to-export-your-your-apple-notes-to-plain-text/
