Email-to-task with project addresses
Forward an email to a project's address and it becomes a task in that project, with the sender and body preserved. Work arrives by email; now it lands where work is managed.
The address format
Every project has an implicit inbound address built from your support mailbox using plus addressing:
yourinbox+p{PROJECT_ID}@yourdomain.com
Example: if your support mailbox is [email protected] and the project's ID is 42, mail sent (or forwarded) to [email protected] becomes a task in project 42.
What gets created
- Task title = the email subject.
- Task description = sender + the email body.
- The task lands in the project's first status column with a due date three days out.
- Your automations fire on it like any new task, so round robin assignment picks an owner immediately.
Requirements
- The company support mailbox (IMAP) must be connected; the same mailbox powers email-to-ticket. See SMTP and IMAP configuration.
- Your mail provider must deliver plus-addressed mail to the base inbox (Gmail, Outlook and most providers do this by default).
Notes
- Mail that matches a task address never becomes a ticket; there is no double handling.
- An unknown project ID falls through to normal ticket processing, so typos do not lose mail.
