How to Create Tasks via Email

This guide explains how to create tasks by sending emails directly to a board in Kitchen.

Written by Denitsa Zhelyazkova

Besides the main ways covered in the previous article, you can also create tasks via email, making it easy to capture work without opening the board.

To set this up:

  1. Open a board

  2. Go to More options (gear icon) at the top right corner

  3. Select Create tasks via Email

From there, you can create tasks by sending or forwarding emails to the generated email address.

Note

Only team members with the Creator role can access and view this setup.

Each email address is unique to a specific user and board.

When you send an email to this address, the task details are created automatically based on its content:

  • The email subject becomes the task title

  • The email body becomes the task description

  • Any attachments are added as messages inside the task

When a task is created:

  • It is added to the Open column at the bottom of the board

  • The task creator is the user linked to the email address used

Anyone who has access to the email address can create tasks, even if they are not part of your workspace.
