How it works
Forward the email to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "add this to the Riverside project for Dana, due Friday".
The task lands in the right Teamwork project, with the due date set and the email's details in the task description. If the project keeps more than one task list, ForwardThis asks which one first.
You receive a confirmation email showing the task, plus an undo button if something doesn't look right.

FAQs
- How do I create a Teamwork task from an email?
- Forward the email to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "add this to the Riverside project for Dana, due Friday". ForwardThis adds the task to the right project with the due date set and replies to confirm. All you need is a free ForwardThis account with Teamwork connected. It takes about 30 seconds.
- Doesn't Teamwork have its own email-in address?
- It does. Every Teamwork task list has an address, and an email sent there becomes a task with the subject as the title. If you keep those addresses handy, use them. ForwardThis needs one address for every project (and every other app you use) and sets the due date and details from your instructions.
- Which project does the task land in?
- The one in your instructions. Teamwork files tasks into task lists rather than straight into projects, so if the project keeps more than one list, ForwardThis asks which one rather than guessing.
- Can it assign the task to Dana?
- No. ForwardThis creates the task with the due date and keeps who it is for in the task's details, but assigning it to a person stays a click you make in Teamwork once the task is there.
- What if the task is wrong?
- The confirmation email includes an undo that works for 24 hours, which deletes the task. You can also just reply with the right project, title or date.
- 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.
