You can turn the email you have open in Gmail into a card. The subject becomes the card name, and the body goes into the card’s Google Doc. Use it for requests from customers or emails you want to follow up on later. Install the add-on first.

​
Create a card

1

Open the email

In Gmail, open the email you want to turn into a card.
2

Open ZARMS in the side panel

Press the ZARMS icon in the side panel on the right.
3

Choose a board

Under Board, choose the board or My board to put the card on. If you belong to more than one team, the team name appears before each board name.
4

Create the card

Press Create card. “Card created.” appears, and the new card is shown in the side panel.

​
The card you get

  • Card name: The email’s subject.
  • Document: The email body goes into the card’s Google Doc, with the sender and a link to the original email at the top.
  • Assignees, dates, and so on: Follow the board’s card create defaults.
After that, you can change the status from the side panel or continue in Open card in ZARMS. The side panel works the same as in Check a card from its document.
If you want every email sent to an inquiry address to become a card automatically, Create cards by email is a better fit. Use the add-on to turn emails you pick into cards one at a time.
