• The body of the email becomes the description of the card.
• The attachments in the email will be added to the card..
• Labels:In the subject, add #labelname, #labelcolor, or #labelnumber
  • If your tag consists of two or more words, in the subject line, join the words together or use underscores between the words. For example, if your tag is called “To Do” in the subject line of your email, enter #ToDo or #To_Do for the tag to display correctly on your card.
  • If you have multiple labels on a board with the same color or name, emailing them with #color or #name will only add the first label with that color or name to the card.
• Members:In the subject, add @username. Members can also be added by putting @username in the body of the email on its own line. If you send an email to Trello and include the email addresses of other Trello users as “to” or “cc” addresses, Trello will add them as card members as well.
