Auto assign board member to a card when they email to board

[trudisaul]

Our team use the email to board function - just wondering if its possible to auto assign the team member to the card that gets created when they use this feature? The team member that created the card / sent the email wants to be alerted to any updates on the card - currently, we're assigning them to the card manually. Thanks, Trudi

Hi Trudi,

Automatically? No, unfortunately. You do have an option, though!

The sender of the email can add their @username to either the subject line or the body of the email (if body, it must be on its own, separate line). That's probably the easiest way to do it. Trello will also add anyone on CC with a matching Trello account as members, but doing that would only add to the emails in that person's inbox!

Hey Michael - thanks for this information - will give your suggestion a go. 

Cheers, Trudi
