Frequently Asked Questions
Who can enable the Email to Quire feature for a project?
Only Organization or Project Admins can enable it in Project Settings. The feature requires a Professional, Premium, or Enterprise plan.
How do I create a Quire task by sending an email?
Enable Email tasks to Quire in Project Settings, then send an email to the project’s unique Quire address. The subject becomes the task name and the body becomes the description.
How does an email get mapped to a Quire task?
Subject → task name, body → description, To → assignees, Cc → followers, attachments → task attachments. Use <Date>, #TagName, or !Priority in the subject to set dates, tags, and priority.
Can I set due dates or tags when emailing tasks to Quire?
Yes. Add <Date> in the subject for dates, #TagName for tags, and !Priority for priority. These work for both project emails and My Tasks emails.
How do I add a comment to a Quire task by email?
Include the task ID in the subject (e.g., “Subject #123”) and send to the project’s Quire address. If the ID isn’t found, a new task is created instead.
How is emailing tasks to My Tasks different from emailing to a project?
Enable the option in Account Settings instead of Project Settings, then email your unique My Tasks address. Cc’d members are not added as followers, and the task is only assigned to you if you email yourself.
Are BCC recipients added as followers when emailing tasks to Quire?
No. BCC emails are ignored entirely. Only To recipients become assignees and Cc recipients become followers. Cc’d members must already be invited to the project.
