Routing Email to Multiple Apps
Did you know you can use Obindo to parse an email and route it to several apps at the same time? Here's one email workflow we find ourselves using quite a bit.
One of us will send out an email regarding a new product feature with a set of questions and comments. After a little bit of back-and-forth, we'll flush out the feature to a point where one of us is able to put together a few files -- say, a wireframe with a more flushed out design sketch. We're ready to start building, so: now what?
Here's where things with Obindo can get fun. Just by adding each appropriate Obindo address on the cc line, we will, in one shot:
* Forward that email to Asana (so the tasks are captured appropriately for the engineering team.)
* Forward that email to Dropbox (so the files are uploaded to a folder we share with a designer so he can start working on some graphics, etc.)
* Forward that email to Yammer (so the conversation can be shared with a few beta testers we've been working with.)
We're continually exploring ways to use Obindo to improve email workflow even more. If you have a workflow you think we might be able to help with, be sure to drop us a line. We'd love to hear from you!
