Create tasks by email
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
You can create tasks directly by sending an email.
|
|
This feature is available by using plugins.
|
|
|
|
At the moment, Kanboard is integrated with 3 external services:
|
|
|
|
- [Mailgun](https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-mailgun)
|
|
- [Sendgrid](https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-sendgrid)
|
|
- [Postmark](https://github.com/kanboard/plugin-postmark)
|
|
|
|
These services handle incoming emails without having to configure any SMTP server.
|
|
|
|
When an email is received, Kanboard receive the message on a specific end-point.
|
|
All complicated works are already handled by those services.
