Creating a record from an email?

[lindaschwab]

Hi there! I'm new to Airtable, and want to know if I can automatically add a task to a base if I email someone with that task?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, the easiest way to do this would be to leverage Zapier. Here's a historical post you can reference: https://community.airtable.com/t5/base-design/email-gt-new-record/m-p/31317#M388

In the example above, you create a unique email with Zapier which you would cc when you send an email. Then Zapier will parse that email and create a new record in your Airtable base. Does that help?
