The emails busy people deal with every day

The repetitive jobs you would normally hand to someone else, or do yourself by switching between apps. Each one is one forwarded email.

  • An appointment confirmation

    “Put this in my calendar for Tuesday at 9am, with a reminder an hour before.”

    The appointment goes in your calendar with the reminder already set.

  • A bill or a policy document

    “File this under Home/Utilities.”

    The PDF is filed, and the confirmation gives you the link.

  • A school or club email

    “Add a task to my Home project to return the permission slip, due Wednesday.”

    The job becomes a task with a due date, so it gets done.

  • A delivery update

    “Add a task to collect the parcel from the depot, for tomorrow evening.”

    The errand is on your list for tomorrow, with the details from the email in the notes.

  • A renewal notice

    “Put the renewal date in my calendar, with a reminder a week before.”

    The date is in your calendar, and the reminder gives you a week to shop around.

  • A receipt

    “Log this as an expense with the receipt attached.”

    The expense is recorded with the receipt attached, ready for whenever you do the books.

  • A travel booking

    “File this under Travel/Lisbon and put the flights in my calendar.”

    The confirmation is filed, and both flights are in your calendar with the booking reference.

  • A quote from a tradesman

    “Save this in my House Projects page.”

    The quote sits on your House Projects page, so it is there when the other quotes come in.

  • A parking or fuel receipt

    “Add this to my Car costs sheet with the amount and the date.”

    A row lands on the sheet, so the total is current.

FAQs

How do busy people use ForwardThis as a personal assistant?
By forwarding the emails that carry life admin in them. An appointment confirmation goes in the calendar. A bill gets filed. A school email becomes a task with a due date. A renewal notice is calendared with a reminder a week before. Each one can be actioned from a single forwarded email.
Does it work with the apps I already use?
Yes. It works with Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Todoist, TickTick, Notion, QuickBooks and 144+ other apps. Each app takes one click to connect, and once connected it stays connected.
Does it read my inbox?
No. ForwardThis only sees the emails you forward to it. It does not read your inbox unless you choose to connect Gmail or Outlook, and even then only when you ask it to search. Nothing happens until you forward an email with your instructions.
Can it send a text message for me?
Yes. Tell it who to text and what to say, and it writes the message and shows it to you first. Nothing is sent until you approve the wording. A sent text cannot be unsent, so it asks first instead of offering undo.
Can my family or my team use it too?
We're working hard on getting our team plan ready to launch. If you'd like to use ForwardThis for your team, please email us for more information.
What happens to personal emails?
Your email is processed securely and used only to carry out your instructions. ForwardThis keeps it just long enough for you to press undo, then deletes it completely. Nothing is stored long term.
