Create task by sending an email to the Plan
Currently, when a task is created in a "Plan" there is an associated group and group email address for that "Plan". If a user was to comment on a task, an email is sent to the group. Likewise if the recipient of that email replies to it, the comment appears in the task. Would it be possible to Send a new email to the "Plan" email address to create a task with the subject line of that email being the task name and the email's content being the description?

We’re in the process of finalizing designs for a Planner add-in for Outlook. From the add-in, users will be able to create tasks for Planner without having to leave their inbox. The email subject and body will autofill as the task title and description, respectively, and users will have the ability to set plan, bucket and assignees . We appreciate your feedback and patience and look forward to this first step in what we hope to be a greater integration with Outlook!

This is a make or break feature. Needs to happen or we'll struggle with adoption

This is the 1 thing stopping me from making the switch to Planner from Trello.

I am going to add my vote for this feature. Trello does this and Planner feels incomplete without it.

Whereas the origin of many tasks are an email, it would be very interesting that the creation of task could be done from an email.

This is a very basic feature, available on almost all task management applications.
extremly usefull feature.- One thing that is missing on many system is ability to use keywords in email to change the state of task, this would allow people who don’t have access to plan it self to collaborate.

This is essential. There is no app for Android so this is about the only way to start a new task when mobile.

I would then be able to replace my support systems such as Jira Help Desk and Zendesk!

Asana and JIRA both support this as well. I'd need this feature to stop using Asana.
