# Creating task from email

### Forward  Emails to turn them into tasks

You can create tasks by sending emails to the SmartTask Application.

Here’s how a email translates into a power packed task update.

| Email field                                                                            | Task field:       |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| Email to `u+id@email.smarttask.io` or `p+id@email.smarttask.io`                        | Task in SmartTask |
| Email ids except for `u+id@email.smarttask.io` or `p+id@email.smarttask.io`in To field | Task Assignee     |
| CCed email recipients                                                                  | Task followers    |
| Email subject                                                                          | Task name         |
| Email body                                                                             | Task description  |
| Email attachments                                                                      | Task attachments  |

Where *id* is a unique identification number for a project or a user. 

### Email Tasks to a User or Project

You can send emails to assign a task to a user or add them to a project.

Every project or user in SmartTask has a unique email address that is created at the time of initiation of the application and can be used to create tasks.

#### To find a the unique email address:

1. Select the desired project or user from the sidebar
2. Click the dropdown arrow besides "Add Task" button.
3. Select **Add Task from Email**

To create a task via email, send an email to `p+uniqueID@smarttask.io` . For example, if your projectID is `123`, you would email `p+123@smarttask.io`&#x20;
