Hi All! I am looking for the best practice to send an email update to someone from within Asana directly from my Gmail. I don’t want it to appear as a task to the person or them to know that I am sending out of asana per 'se. I would just like it to appear as a normal email. Is this a possibility? ---

Hi @Brittany_Astorga - thanks for reaching out! Let me check that I understand you correctly - are you trying to send an email update from Asana? If you have a Business account or above, it is now possible to trigger an email being sent to Gmail as a result of an action in Asana: ![image (6)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/9/8/98a2ceb94c6d944a0bccd3015bdb215ebbf58b53.jpeg) However, the recipient will see that the item has been sent from Asana. See guide article [here](https://asana.com/apps/google-gmail). I hope this helps! ---

Hi @Brittany_Astorga , on the other hand, I understood that you want to send an email to people in Asana as (private?) meesages - unfortunately this not currently possible. However you can send emails to groups of people who belong to a team or a project in Asana! Have a look at the Asana guide article here: [Turning emails into Asana tasks | Product guide • Asana Product Guide](https://asana.com/guide/help/messages/email-messages) Hope you find that useful! 😉 ---

Thank you for your reply. We were looking for the not currently possible option. Just looking to link emails to tasks without copying and pasting. ---
