Cannot use Outlook Plug-in - Is there alternative (e.g., email address to turn emails into tasks)

KathleenK · 08/19/18

Unfortunately my work email address is on-premises Exchange Server so I cannot use the Outlook Plug-in (very disappointing as that would simplify my world tremendously). So far I have not seen an alternative such as a unique email address I can forward emails to auto-add to tasks in smartsheet (such as other productivity apps like RedBooth, TaskWorld, Wunderlist, etc. that have this capability) so I am just trying to confirm that is the case.

I prefer Smartsheet for the level of features and capability to most others, but I may have find an alternative purely for that functionality. Appreciate any thoughts. Thanks!

Hi Kathleen,

Two workarounds come to mind.

1. Forward the message to a Gmail address and then use the Smartsheet integration from there to add the mail.

2. Create a workflow with Zapier (or similar service) with a unique e-mail address that would add it to Smartsheet.

Would that work for you?

I hope this helps you!

Best,
