Create task in MyWork through email

Feature requests

We use the “Create items via email” alot in our team. Its a great way to quickly create a task directly from outlook. Our issue is that its only possible to do from boards, and not from MyWork. Our current solution is to create a board, which only purpose is to feed MyWork with emailed tasks, which seems wrong. Would it be possible to add “Create items via email” to MyWork?

Thanks.

Hi Yussef :waving_hand:
We’ve had a very similar experience! Our team also relied heavily on “Create items via email”, but found the limitation of having to go through a specific board pretty frustrating, especially when all we wanted was for those tasks to show up in My Work for the right person.

So here’s a workaround that worked better for us, we started using Email to Tasks for monday.com

It lets you:

  • Create a task directly from Gmail (with support for Outlook coming soon, I believe)
  • Set the assignee, status, priority, group, etc. right from the email
  • Use presets to auto-fill repetitive details
  • And once the task is assigned, it automatically appears in My Work, no extra “email board” needed

Might be worth trying if you’re looking for a smoother flow between inbox → task → My Work.
