Drag your clients from email to Teamwork Project Manager
Lots of people are familiar with email and are comfortable using it.
This not always ideal when you want the emails kept within Teamwork Project Manager.
If a client sends you an email outside of Teamwork Project Managaer, you can create a new message in the project that is appropriate and set the author as your client.
To do this
- Log in to your Teamwork Project Manager installation
- Create a new Message in the appropriate project
- Click into the new message (right now it looks like you wrote it)
- Click on the profile picture next to the message
- Select the name of your client in the pop-up window
- Click Update Message button
The message is now updated to show that your client posted it. When you reply to this message and email notification is sent to the user with your new reply and the conversation is stored in Teamwork Project Manager.
With the Reply-By-Email feature, all future correspondence will be stored within Teamwork Project Manager.
