Trying to understand email integration

[Sam Stamport]

I’m new to Trello. I’m trying to understand how collaboration works (in the free version).

I’m collaborating with an older gentleman who is not very computer literate. If I try to collaborate with him using Trello I don’t want to complicate his life. He can handle ordinary emails, but I don’t want him to have to learn Trello or any other product.

I need something that will allow me to easily collect emails for a given task without a lot of clumsy copy & paste. Will Trello work this way?

We do offer the option to create cards via email, but a user requires a Trello account for that - this is a general requirement if a user wants to interact with a Trello board.

I'd recommend checking if an integration via Zapier might be of help here: https://zapier.com/apps/trello/integrations/email
