You can turn your emails into Todoist tasks by forwarding them to a project. The subject line will become the task name, and the body of the email will be added as a comment. All attachments smaller than 25MB will also be attached. If you don’t know how Todoist can help you be productive, check out our previous Todoist tutorials and Download Todoist right now!

The tutorial will be divided into two parts: Forwarding e-mails to Todoist Project and Forwarding e-mails to Todoist Comments.

Copy Todoist email address and send email

Click Copy email next to the email address provided. Go to your mailbox interface, first paste the email address, and then add the content you need to supplement in the email body, and then the content will be displayed in the comments under the task.

Add due dates, labels, priority levels, and assign collaborators

You can also add due dates, labels, priority levels, and assignee right from your email client. All you have to do is include any of these in either the subject or any place above your signature in the body of your email.

email content
1. Add due dates and time To schedule the task right away, add <date due date>. For example, <date tomorrow>, <date 12/22>, <date every other day>, and <date every last day>, are all supported.

2. Add labels

To add a label, add @labelname. For example, @work, @email, or @customer. Sinokap recommends that you can define the VIP customers of the service as a label so that you can quickly query the things that each customer needs to deal with.

3. Set the priority level

To add a priority, simply add p1, p2, or p3. Among them, p1 is the highest level, and so on. Note that the letter “p” needs to be lowercase here.

4. Assign it to a collaborator

To assign the task when forwarding the email to a shared project, add +firstnamelastname of the assignee. For example, if you’re collaborating with Kira and you want to assign the task to her, simply add +Kira.
