FAQs
- How do I add an email to Smartsheet?
- Forward the email to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "add this enquiry to the Bookings sheet: Sophie Trent, 14 June, Elmswell Barn". ForwardThis adds the row and replies with a link. The first time, you will need a free ForwardThis account with Smartsheet connected - it takes about 30 seconds.
- How does it know which columns to fill in?
- It matches the details in your instructions to the sheet's own column names. If something does not match a column, ForwardThis asks instead of guessing.
- Can it use details from the email itself?
- Yes. A name, a date or an amount written in the email can go straight into the row, so your instructions only need to say which sheet.
- Can it attach the email's files to the row?
- Yes. ForwardThis can attach the email's files to the row, and the confirmation lists what was attached.
- Can Smartsheet add rows from email on its own?
- No. Smartsheet collects entries through its own forms, but there is no address that turns an email into a row. ForwardThis does exactly that: forward the email and the row is added.
- 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.
