Follow these simple steps to set up and use this feature:
1) Navigate to the Task List
Go to the specific task list within a project and open the three-dot menu in the upper-left corner of the task list.
Select "Email to this list."
2) Generate and Copy Email Address
A unique email address will be generated for this task list. Copy this email address.
3) Compose Your Email
Recipient: Paste the unique email address into the recipient field.
Subject: This will become the title of the task.
Body Text: This will become the description of the task.
Attachments: Any attachments added to the email will appear in the task.

Useful Considerations
If the person creating the task is not in your Productive account, they will automatically be added as a Contact.
If you have many clients and want them to create tasks using a front-end interface without actually logging into Productive, create a Google Form which is sent to the Email of that particular Task List.
