How do I forward an email into a task inbox?
Forward the message instead of leaving it unread as a reminder. Tiny Inbox turns the useful text into a capture that can be clarified on your schedule.
Short answer
Capture now. Decide later.
Create a capture-scoped API token in Tiny Inbox Settings and copy the email capture address shown once after creation. Forward an email to that private address. Its subject and text body arrive in your Inbox; attachments are intentionally ignored.
Email forwarding is a Pro feature. Treat the generated capture address like a password because it contains the token that authorizes the capture.
Step by step
From source to inbox
Create the capture address
In Settings → API tokens, create a token with capture permission and copy the email capture address shown after creation.
Keep the address private
Save it as a private contact or forwarding target. Do not put it on a public page or forward a message that exposes the To header to someone else.
Forward the email
Send the message to the private address. Tiny Inbox captures the subject and plain-text body while ignoring attachments.
Turn the message into an action
Triage the capture, remove email noise, add a due date if one exists, and optionally send the clarified item to Todoist or Google Tasks.
At the source
Subject: Contract renewal — Please confirm by Thursday
In Tiny Inbox
Confirm the contract renewal by Thursday
Email capture is designed for the commitment in the message, not for archiving attachments or replacing your mailbox.
