# Importing Emails as Tasks

In Smarty, turn your emails into actionable tasks seamlessly. No more toggling between apps—stay organized and efficient right within Smarty.

To import an email as a task:

1. **Drag and Drop**: Move an email from your email pane directly into your Smarty task list.
2. **Add Directly**: Click on an email and select "Add to Tasks" or choose a specific date to schedule it.
3. **Timebox Your Tasks**: Activate calendar view (keyboard shortcut: `tab`) and drag the email to your desired time slot. This not only schedules the task but also reserves a block of time in your calendar.

**Best Practices:**

For those emails that trigger notifications from tools not yet integrated with Smarty, you can craft your own makeshift integration via the email import feature. For a step-by-step guide, refer to our tutorial on custom integrations, substituting our example tool with your preferred application.
