Oh I'm glad this video came across my feed. Nice tip. That gives me a reason to log onto gmail on my laptop more often now.

Thanks a lot.
I wonder if there is a way to automise it so for example some filtered emails will automaticaly become a task

[johnnybaklini]

Can you assign the email to someone else in your workspace ?

[DemetriPanici]

It’s a simple and easy trick but it works! Thanks

Question once I move a email into my tasks can I delete the email or do I need to archive it? If there is information thst I need for the task I’d I delete the email will it still bring up the email out of task.

Thanks

The tasks are great feature, but when I will have many of them, how can I search in between tasks please ? For example I would like to typ in client name, and task will come up to me... is this possible ?

Is there a way to move the email into one of my task spaces?

Quite confusing. Please update and include: Specifically how to add Google Tasks to your right-hand pane, *and* specifically how the new tasks gets named (is it the subject of the email? Can you update it to make the task obvious?). On mobile (I assume the same on both Android and iPhone -- is that correct?) I gather that you need to download an app called Google Tasks. Is that correct?

Basically, fill in all the assumptions you are making so that just about anybody can grasp the complete set of steps to take and then perform them with high expectations of success on the first try.
