Sending Emails to Your Project

You can easily create a Task or post a Message in the discussions by sending an email to your project. The action taken will depend on how you address the email to your project.

Note: Use the email address associated with your Nifty workspace to forward emails successfully and authenticate.

Locate Your Project's Unique Email Forwarding Address

  1. Find the Email Address:

    • To forward an email, locate your project's unique email address.

    • Copy this email address from your Project Control Center as shown here:

2. You'll find your project's email address within your Project Control Center, along with formatting layouts.

Creating a Task from an Email

Emails forwarded to a project with a subject line but without the [Status] and #tag structure will automatically appear in the furthest left Status (Kanban view) or top Status (List view) of the project.

Format for Creating a Task from an Email:

  • Email Address (found in project settings): team-url.projectID@mail.nifty.pm

  • Subject: Task Name [Status List] #Tag

  • Body: Task Description

Example:

  • Email Address: opka6123.jRUjXhhdb84@mail.nifty.pm

  • Subject: Create onboarding design [To Do] #UX

  • Body: We need to create a design for when users sign up!

Note: If an open Task with the same name as the subject line of the forwarded email already exists within the project, the forwarded email will appear as a comment within that Task. To create a new Task from the forwarded email, modify the subject line accordingly.

Posting a Message from an Email

Posting messages to a project discussion is straightforward:

  • Email Address (found in project settings): team-url.projectID@mail.nifty.pm

  • Subject: (Leave Blank)

  • Body: Message you'd like to send :)

  • Attachments: Attach your files as needed!

Example:

  • Email Address: opka6123.jRUjXhhdb84@mail.nifty.pm

  • Subject: (Leave Blank)

  • Body: I really liked the latest design -- let's use that one!

File Attachments

  • Files attached to the email will be forwarded into your project tasks or discussions along with the provided details.

  • Note: The total size limit for email messages is 20MB.

This email forwarding feature works with any email provider! 🎉
