FAQs
- How do I create a Monday.com item from an email?
- Forward the email to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "add this to the Maintenance board, marked urgent, for Steve". ForwardThis adds the item and replies with a link. The first time, you will need a free ForwardThis account with Monday.com connected - it takes about 30 seconds.
- Which board does the item go on?
- Whichever your instructions name, and with only one board, ForwardThis uses it without asking. You can also name the group the item should land in.
- Can it set the status, date and person?
- Yes. Your instructions can set the status, due date and person when the item is created. Anything you leave out is left to the board's defaults.
- Can it attach the email's files to the item?
- Yes. ForwardThis can attach the email's files to the item, and the confirmation lists what was attached.
- Doesn't Monday.com have its own email address for creating items?
- It does. Every Monday.com board has an email address that turns a message into an item, and it works well. The difference is that ForwardThis is one address for every board, your instructions set the board, status, date and person in plain words, and the reply links to the item it created.
- Does it work with Outlook and other email apps?
- Yes. ForwardThis works with any email provider: Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail and everything else. If it can forward an email, it works.
- What happens to my email afterwards?
- It gets deleted. ForwardThis holds your email briefly in case you press undo, then removes it completely. Nothing is stored long term.
