FAQs
- How do I create a Wrike task from an email?
- Forward the email to your ForwardThis address with some simple instructions, like "add this to the Studio project as a task for Callum, due Friday". ForwardThis creates the task and replies with a link. The first time, you will need a free ForwardThis account with Wrike connected. It takes about 30 seconds.
- Which folder or project does the task go in?
- Whichever your instructions name. ForwardThis can also create a new folder or project first and put the task inside it.
- Can it assign the task and set a due date?
- Yes. Name the person and the date in your instructions and the task is created with them set. It can also be made a subtask of an existing task.
- Can it attach the email's files to the task?
- Yes. Say so in your instructions and the files go on with it; the confirmation lists each one.
- Doesn't Wrike have its own email integration?
- It does. Wrike can turn an email into a task when you send it to wrike@wrike.com, with the folder chosen by square brackets in the subject line, and it works. The difference is that ForwardThis takes plain words instead: the folder, assignee and due date all come from your instructions, and the reply links to the task 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.
