  • It will then be available as soon as you open an email in your Gmail inbox.

  • Adding a task via the add-on will create a direct link to the actual email you've set your task from.

  • Clicking on the email from your Any.do app will open the exact thread the task is related to.

πŸ’‘ Note: The Gmail add-on for personal lists is a free integration available to all users. Workspace and Family members will be able to also add tasks to their boards.
