A destination is a unique email address (like abc123@in.quicktion.io) linked to a specific database, spreadsheet, or board. Any email forwarded to that address gets saved automatically to your connected tool.

You can create multiple destinations for different purposes -- one for receipts, one for newsletters, one for client emails, and so on.

Prerequisites

Before creating a destination, you need to have connected at least one integration: connect your Notion workspace, connect your Google account, connect your Airtable account, connect your Linear workspace, or connect your Trello workspace.

Create a Destination

Sign in to your Quicktion dashboard at quicktion.io.
Click New Destination.
Select the integration you want to use (the workspace or account you connected earlier).
Pick the specific database, spreadsheet, table, team, or board where emails should be saved.
Click Create.

You'll now see your new destination with its unique forwarding address (e.g., abc123@in.quicktion.io). Copy this address -- you'll need it to start forwarding emails.

Configure Property Mappings

After creating a destination, you can configure how email fields map to your destination's properties or columns. This controls where the subject, sender, date, and body end up.

By default, Quicktion maps:

Subject to the page title
Sender to an email property (if one exists)
Date to a date property (if one exists)
Body to the page content (Notion blocks)

You can change these mappings and set default values in the destination settings. For more details, see the help articles on property mappings and default values.

Test Your Destination

Send a test email to make sure everything works:

Open your email client (Gmail, Outlook, or any other).
Forward any email to your destination address (the abc123@in.quicktion.io address you copied earlier).
Wait a few seconds, then check your destination.

You should see a new record with the email's subject, sender, date, and body content.

If the Email Doesn't Appear

Check the destination address -- Make sure you forwarded to the correct address. Even a small typo will prevent delivery.
Wait a moment -- Emails typically arrive in Notion within seconds, but it can occasionally take up to a minute.
Check your Quicktion dashboard -- The activity log shows the status of processed emails. Look for any errors there.
Verify access permissions -- Make sure Quicktion still has access to the target database, spreadsheet, or board. If access was revoked, reconnect from the dashboard.

Next Steps

Now that your destination is working, you can:

Set up auto-forwarding rules in Gmail or Outlook so emails are sent to Quicktion automatically, without manual forwarding.
Create more destinations for different databases or use cases.
Customize property mappings to control exactly how email data is stored.
