FAQs
- How do I turn an email into a Trello card?
- Forward the email to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "add this to the Shop Refit board, in the Quotes list". ForwardThis adds the card and replies with a link. The first time, you will need a free ForwardThis account with Trello connected - it takes about 30 seconds.
- Which board and list does the card go on?
- Whichever your instructions name. With only one board, ForwardThis uses it without asking; otherwise it asks you, using your real board names.
- Doesn't Trello have its own email-to-board address?
- It does. Every Trello board has an email address that turns a message into a card, and it works well. The difference is that ForwardThis is one address for every board, your instructions choose the board and list in plain words, and the reply links to the card it created.
- Can it attach the email's files to the card?
- Yes. ForwardThis can attach the email's files to the card, and the confirmation lists what was attached.
- Does the card keep the email's contents?
- Yes. ForwardThis can put the email's contents in the card description, so the context travels with the card.
- 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.
