Add tasks on your emails in Gmail for Google Apps (New GroupCamp Gmail Gadget)

We are happy to announce that the new Gmail contextual gadget for Google Apps from GroupCamp is out. The latest version will allow you to add follow-up tasks on emails with the following add-ons:
- your email body will keep its formatting
- the email and all its attached files will be linked to the task

You still have the ‘New task’ button in the gadget which allows a task to be created but without saving the email and its attached files in the project. The ‘New task’ button also did not allow the formatting of the email body to be preserved.

With the new Save email button, you can now archive the email into a project then add a follow-up task on that email.
Once you click on the Save email button, the list of projects will be displayed. Choose the project in which to save your email. Please refer to the blog entry on the save email feature in GroupCamp’s Gmail gadget.

Once the email is saved, the task form will be displayed with the email or the attached files linked to the task. When an email contains attached files the body of the email is added as a comment by default (unless the relevant check box shown below is unchecked).

When adding the task you can choose which project member to assign the task to with a due date. You can still add followers and an estimated time for that task.

In your online project the task will be created with the attached files present in the Files application and linked to the task.

In the Files application, the files are displayed with the tasks linked to them.
