How to Convert an Email Into a Task

  1. Forward the Email
    Send or forward the relevant email to uku@getuku.email.

  2. Task Creation Automatically
    Uku instantly creates a new task for the member account associated with the email that initiated the forward.

    • Note: The email address used to forward the message must match your Uku member account email.

  3. Task Details Included
    The task in Uku will include the full body of the email along with any attachments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who gets the created task?
The task is assigned to the Uku member whose email was used to forward the message.

Does it work if forwarded from a different address?
No, the system checks that the sender address matches your Uku member account email. If they differ, no task will be created.

Can I turn this feature off?
​Yes, go to the Email app settings in Uku and enable or disable the feature "Create tasks from emails" as needed.

How to Enable or Disable the Feature

  • The feature is enabled by default.

  • You can turn it off in the app settings to prevent automatic task creation from emails.

  • Setting changes take immediate effect.

Example Use Cases

  • Forward client requests or new to-do items from your inbox directly to uku@getuku.email for seamless workflow integration.

  • Useful for teams handling tasks from multiple communication channels.

Troubleshooting

  • Task not created:
    Ensure the sender’s email matches your Uku member account and the feature is enabled in the Email app.

  • Task assigned to wrong member:
    Make sure you are forwarding from your own email account, not through a third party.
