In a different article, we showed you how to convert an email message to a task. Basically, you forward an email to a user-specific address, and BrokerEngine turns it into a task. This handy feature helps you:

  • Save time managing client communications and handling follow-ups.

  • Avoid introducing errors because you don’t need to transcribe as much information.

  • Ensure that all requisite emails are converted to tasks.

This article describes the conversion process.

Information added to a new task

When you convert an email to a task, BrokerEngine creates a task with:

  • Record: [none]

  • Name: Subject of the email

  • Assignee: The email address you include in the To field after your task-creation email address.

  • Type: Imported Task

  • Priority: Low

  • Due Date: [none]

  • Description: Body of the email.

  • Notify user: [you]

For example, if you send this email:

To: task_4ef892875b29d02984492786e739302a08c7>@email.staging.brokerengine.com.au, kim@example.com
Subject: Set up meeting next week
