Within Gmail, you can interact with your projects directly using the Teamwork.com add-on.
Once you have installed the add-on from the G-Suite marketplace, you will see the Teamwork.com logo in the right sidebar of your Gmail account.
When you click the icon for the first time, you will be asked to log in to your Teamwork.com account and authorize access. You can also sign up to a new account.
Once you have logged in, you will be brought to an overview menu where you can add tasks, add task lists, and access your settings.
Adding a task
When adding a new task, you can select a project and task list to add it to. You can choose assignee(s), add tags, give the task a name and description.
By default, the task name will be populated with the subject line of the email.
You can also set estimated time, due date, priority, privacy, and include the email itself in the task.
- Estimated time format
- hh:mm
- E.g. 01:30
- Due date format
- yyyy.mm.dd
- E.g. 2018.09.09
Note: Dates must be entered in the format yyyy.mm.dd to be processed correctly by Gmail.
At the bottom of the task modal, you can set additional options:
