Turn emails into tasks so your to-do's don't get buried in your inbox! We'll show you how easy it is to create a task from a message in Gmail. First, we'll do it with Google's built-in tool, Google Tasks — a solution for anyone that just needs the basics. Then, we'll also demo GQueues and its integration with Gmail.

GQueues is the #1 task management tool for teams on Google Workspace. When you use GQueues to turn emails into tasks, you get all the same features as Google's native tool — PLUS collaboration features, like the ability to assign that task to a team member.
