It would be great if ClickUp could work as a third party email app so that you reply, forward, compose, etc emails inside ClickUp and retain the organization of ClickUp.
Yes, it would be great for use in a service desk environment as a ticketing system that is consolidated with your operations and project management.
ive been searching for years for a central hub that I can also use as an Email client for all my staff / departent inboxes etc so I don't have keep going out to gmail or other email client. this would be genius and truly a point of difference that none of your competitors offer
Brilliant brilliant brilliant idea
Regarding the mail, take a look at Hubspot, you gotta love the mail function and how good it works and looks.
I'm personally quite happy with using the Chrome extension to create a task from an email in Gmail. Maybe that integration could be deepened to keep track of replies or other activity inside ClickUp? My inbox is a very different beast — I would never want to bring that monster into ClickUp in full.
Yeah I really like the idea of using this as my primary email. I would get rid of other clients if this had a calendar.
As part of Gmail would be great
@Senthil Seveelavanan: do we seriously want to give google any more power. there a many much much better email clients out htere than gmail. its time we started letting others get into space and stop giving google yet more power. seriously...!!!!!!
@Kerstin Shields: agree, but want to be realistic, otherwise the logical conclusion of all these suggestions is that clickup rebuild the world!
or alternatively, deep integration with gmail including android / ios clients would accomplish the same goals, without requiring writing multiple email apps?
Couldn't this be accomplished by including email account configuration using IMAP protocols. It wouldn't be the best email experience, but just as good as iOS mail app, and helpful way to stay inside the clickup world. Also could permit a better email to task experience. I'd suggest adding "Mail" accounts to what is labeled INBOX and allow it. It's been awhile since I've worked with email backends, but the IMAP protocol was configured to cache locally only recent messages, so this wouldn't have large storage overhead.
