Email to Quire

You can create a Quire task by sending an email to a specified email address. You can send an email to a specific project and assign it to a member or send it to My Tasks as a personal task.

Email to Quire is only available in the Professional, Premium, Enterprise plans. More information can be found on our pricing page.

Note: Only Organization or Project Admin can enable this feature.
