Step 2: Define Basic Workflow Settings

  1. Workflow Name: Enter a name (e.g., New Email Received).
  2. Workflow Action: Select New Message Received under the Inbox tab.

Step 3: Set a Condition Based on Email Subject

In the IF section:

  1. Select Subject from the dropdown.
  2. Choose the condition Contain.
  3. Enter a keyword or phrase to match, such as [Contact Form].

This ensures the task is only created when an incoming email subject contains this specific phrase.

Step 4: Add the Task Creation Action

In the THEN section, choose Create Task and fill in the required task details:

  • Select Pipeline: Choose the related pipeline (e.g., Customization onboarding pipeline).
  • Select Stage: Choose the pipeline stage (e.g., Prospecting).
  • Select Deal: Pick an existing deal or lead the task is linked to (e.g., test).
  • Title: Use a dynamic field such as {{email_subject}} to make the task title match the email’s subject.
  • Type: Select task type (e.g., To Do).
  • Assignee: Choose a team member to assign the task to.
  • Select Priority: Choose task priority (e.g., Medium).
  • Description: Add context or default content (e.g., Email content). You can manually enter text or use variables.

You can also click + Add Action to include more steps like tagging, replying, or converting the sender into a contact.

Step 5: Save and Activate

Click Create Workflow. Once active, Taskip will automatically create a task for every matching email based on your rule.

Example Use Case

  • Subject contains [Contact Form]
    Action:
