Turn flagged emails into tasks

Flag an email, get a tracked task in the right project.

Every hour, find emails in Gmail with the "To Do" label, create an Asana task for each in the Inbox project with the email subject as the task name and the body as the description, then reply-label the email as Filed.

Runs Every hour

Good requests and action items get buried in email. Forge turns the messages you flag into real Asana tasks in the right project, carrying over the subject and details, so follow-ups become tracked work instead of lost threads in your inbox.

How it works

  1. 1 Find emails carrying your chosen label in Gmail
  2. 2 Create an Asana task in the right project for each one
  3. 3 Label the email so it is not processed twice
