Turning an Email into a Task or Event

What it does

When an email commits you to something, Warp pulls it out for you. A priority email that asks you to do something shows a suggested task underneath it; one that mentions a date shows a suggested event. You do not ask for this, and nothing is created until you say so.

How to use it

  1. Open Priorities and open a group.
  2. Look under an email for a suggestion.
  3. To create the task, tap Add as task. A message confirms it, with a View option that opens the new task.
  4. To create the event, tap Add as event. A message confirms it, again with View.
  5. If you do nothing, nothing is created. The suggestion is only an offer.

Tips & shortcuts

  • Add as event needs a connected calendar. If you have not connected one, you are told so and offered a shortcut to Integrated services to connect one.
  • The task or event is created from what the email said, so check the details afterwards if the email was vague. Everything is editable once created.
  • If creating it fails, the message tells you why rather than failing silently.
  • Suggestions only appear on priority emails, and only on mail from the last month, because that is as far back as Warp reads.

Warp can also pre-write your reply to a priority email. See Replying to a Priority Email.
