Trello is a great tool for managing tasks and projects, but sometimes it can be difficult to keep track of all the emails related to your work. Fortunately, there are several ways to add emails from Outlook to Trello, making it easier to stay organized and on top of your workload.
Method 1: Use the Trello Add-In for Outlook
The easiest way to add emails from Outlook to Trello is by using the Trello Add-In for Outlook. This add-in allows you to create a new card in Trello directly from an email in your Outlook inbox. To use this method, follow these steps:
- Open the email in your Outlook inbox that you want to add to Trello.
- Click on the “Trello” button in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
- Select the board and list where you want to create a new card, and enter any additional information such as the card title or description.
- Click “Create Card” to add the email to Trello.
Method 2: Use the Trello Email-to-Board Feature
Another way to add emails from Outlook to Trello is by using the email-to-board feature. This allows you to create a new card in Trello simply by sending an email to a specific address. To use this method, follow these steps:
- Open the email in your Outlook inbox that you want to add to Trello.
- Click “Forward” and enter the email address for the board where you want to create a new card. You can find this address by going to the board settings in Trello and looking under “Email-to-board Settings.”
- Enter any additional information such as the card title or description in the subject line of the email.
- Click “Send” to add the email to Trello.
Method 3: Use a Third-Party Integration
If you prefer not to use the Trello Add-In for Outlook or the email-to-board feature, there are several third-party integrations that can help you add emails from Outlook to Trello. Some popular options include Zapier, IFTTT, and Microsoft Flow. To use one of these integrations, follow their instructions for setting up a new workflow that connects your Outlook inbox to your Trello account.
Conclusion
Adding emails from Outlook to Trello can be a game-changer for anyone who wants to stay organized and on top of their workload. Whether you use the Trello Add-In for Outlook, the email-to-board feature, or a third-party integration, there are several ways to make this process as easy and efficient as possible.
