Original n8n.io sourceCreate smenso Task from Gmail with automatic Project Assignment
Turn emails into smenso tasks automatically — use a keyword in the subject line to assign tasks to the right project, get a confirmation reply, and keep your inbox clean.
This workflow monitors a Gmail inbox for emails with the subject "smenso Task" and automatically creates tasks in your smenso workspace. What makes it smart: by adding a keyword in square brackets to the subject line, the workflow automatically assigns the task to the matching smenso project. The sender receives a confirmation reply and the email is marked as read.
How it works:
Email format:
smenso Task [ProjectKeyword]: My Task TitleExamples:
smenso Task [Marketing]: Create new campaign brief → task created in the Marketing projectsmenso Task [IT]: Fix server issue → task created in the IT projectsmenso Task: General task without keyword → task created in the default fallback projectUse cases:
Setup requirements:
smenso Task aus Gmail erstellen mit automatischer Projektzuordnung

Der Absender erhält eine Bestätigungs-E-Mail und die ursprüngliche Mail wird als gelesen markiert.
