Every LifeAxis account has a dedicated inbox email address. Forward any email to it and LifeAxis creates a task from the message, dropping it into your inbox ready to triage.
Finding your inbox address
Your personal LifeAxis inbox email address is shown in the Tasks section settings. It is unique to your account.
How the conversion works
When an email arrives at your inbox address:
- The email subject becomes the task title
- The email body is added as the task description
- The task lands in your inbox with no project, priority, or due date assigned
From there, triage it as you would any other inbox task: set a priority, assign it to a project, and add a due date if needed.
When to use it
Email to task is useful for capturing actions from email without switching context:
- A client sends a request — forward it and deal with it later
- A bill arrives that needs attention — forward it and it is in your list
- An invitation needs a response — forward it so it is not forgotten in your inbox
Tips
- Use the email subject line to write a clear task title before forwarding, rather than forwarding with the original subject, to save editing time later
- You can forward from any email account — the address is not restricted to a specific sender
