When using Email-to-board, can the sender be added automatically as a watcher?

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I have a department (Department A) using email-to-board so they can easily add a Card to another department's (Department B) Board.

Department A does not use Trello, but has access to it (they are even members on Department B's board).

How can employees from Department A be added as a watcher (automatically) on the card they created?

Thanks!

Hi Patricia,

When emailing a card to the board, in the Subject of the email, you can @ mention a user that you would like to add as a member of the newly created card. You can also perform this function by CC'ing users you would like added to the email.

For example, a user in Department A can send an email to the board with an @ mention of their Trello username in the Subject line, or they can CC their own email address to be automatically watching the card on creation.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions or concerns!
