Allowing Users to Reply to Email Notifications

You can configure Workfront to allow users to make a comment on a Workfront object by replying to an email notification.

Understanding Email Replies

When a user makes a comment on an object in Workfront, an email notification containing the comment is delivered to users who have set up email notifications and who are tagged on the object. To learn about email notifications, see "Configuring Email Notifications."

You can configure Workfront to allow users to make a comment on a Workfront object by replying to an email notification. Using either the Workfront default email service or a POP email account, recipients of email notifications can make comments on Workfront objects without logging in to Workfront.

NOTE Although POP users can reply to emails sent from Workfront, we strongly encourage the use of the default mail service.

For information about configuring a POP email account, see "Using a POP Email Account to Comment on Work Items."

For information about using the default email service, see "Using the Workfront Default Mail Service to Comment on Work Items."

You can respond to Workfront email that is generated from comments made to the following objects:

  • Project
  • Task

To learn more about making comments, see "Understanding the Update Stream."
