The Kanbanchi Gmail plugin has been a great efficiency booster for our organization. Many of the projects we manage begin with an email, so the ability to create a card directly from Gmail and place it into the appropriate stage of our production board is incredibly valuable. The integration is seamless. I've experienced zero bugs, glitches, or performance issues, which is a huge advantage when relying on a tool as part of a daily workflow. I highly recommend this plugin to any team looking to improve productivity and simplify project management. Reducing clicks, eliminating manual steps, and keeping everything connected within Gmail saves time and helps our team stay organized. It's one of those tools that just works, and that's exactly what you want.

Kanbanchi is exactly what I was looking for to streamline my daily workflow. I love how I can easily I can turn emails into cards straight from my Gmail inbox, and keep related assets, images, links and copy all neatly stored in one place. I can also link straight back to the original email if I need to, which saves time. I'm so much more organised and can quickly see what I've got coming up at a glance. And I'm still exploring all the features! By far the easiest, nicest and most efficient Kanban board app I've used. : )

When we were looking to find a tool that would help us improve our process and work seamlessly with the tech we were already using Kanbanchi's Gmail plugin fit right in. The feature whereby the simple click of a button adds an email containing all the data we need to our Kanbanchi board is very efficient. Not only that, but you can choose where it needs to be placed, and it brings any attachments across with it. It is a great add on to the other google workspace features we apply in the business.

The Kanbanchi Gmail add-on for turning emails into cards has been absolutely so helpful. It allows me to quickly convert emails into tasks/cards that link directly back to the original email, which saves a huge amount of time and improves efficiency. It’s a simple but very effective feature that has streamlined my workflow. Highly recommend this tool.

Very cool, but would suggest also automatically adding a link to the email URL so you can click to open it in gmail, which would lead you back to the email thread which may have additional context. Clickup does a good job of doing this

Not worth the money when other applications I have tested comes with free options that even this does not have for my taste. As a student, not recommending this.
