Email “TODO:” becomes a task in your Notion database

Forward or send yourself an email whose subject starts with “TODO”. The AI extracts the task, the due date and the priority, creates an entry in your Notion tasks database with a link back to the sender, then flags the email. Needs the properties Due and Priority; pick the database after import.
