Hi @Yetimo Art,

Instead of routing Outlook emails through your Trello Inbox, you can send them directly to a specific board. Each Trello board has a unique email address that creates cards automatically on that board.

To get the email address for your board:

  1. Open the board

  2. Open the board menu

  3. Select Email-to-board

  4. Copy your unique email address from the Email address for this board field

Then, set up your Outlook rule to forward emails to that board email address instead of the Inbox. Cards will be created directly on the board, so no manual moving is needed.

Hope it helps 🙌
Liam
