Dear Aymeric,

Is it possible to import a task who includes subtasks directly from  Gmail?
All the subtasks would be in the body.

Best!

Hi Pau, I will look for a solution where you don't need Zapier for it.

I am considering doing the following:

- I give you one email address per workspace to send your emails to. example: workspace+10809@weekplan.net
- You send the email using the subject as the text of the task, the body as the notes, and if inside the body the system finds lines that starts with [ ] it will consider it a subtask. Example:

=============================
To: workspace+10809@weekplan.net
Subject: Rule the world
Body:

This is an important step to make it a better place.

[ ] Earn enough money to build an army
[ ] Build an army
[ ] Rule the world
 
=============================

Would that work for you?

Dear Aymeric,

The zap between gmail and Trello allows the next:
It would be great for our company to have the same from gmail to Weekplan.

We are trying to sync all the task projects of our organization, from google docs to gmail (done), and then from gmail to Weekplan. The only thing left we need to have this done is to have this functionality.

Our tech person and I we already have a pro licence, we are testing your tool, but once we have this done we will buy 4 more weekplan licences, and we have great plans for growing! 

As it is possible to do this from gmail to trello, I tried this, and then I explored the possibility to zap from trello to weekplan, but there is not the possibility from weekplan either (and besides, too much zaps!!!).

It would be great to have this, it would change our day by day so much. Every week, every person of our company recieves automatically dozens of tasks from spreadsheet (we use spreadsheets as a project management tool) to gmail, which is kind of difficult to manage without a tool like yours!

Thank you very much!
