Review
Forward a message and get a task with the sender and the ask pulled out. Capture is good once the pipe exists. Setup is tokens, a filter, and a destination database, and it breaks quietly when a key expires. You will not notice until a week of mail has vanished. It is worth it when email is already where the work arrives.
What holds up
- The inbox can be the capture point
- The extracted ask is easier to start than the thread
- You do not have to open a second app to file it
Where it breaks
- Setup is brittle and easy to get slightly wrong
- Failures are silent
