Integration with Braintoss

Braintoss is an app for Android and iPhone that allows you to capture in a very simple and fast way voice memos, images, and notes in your email inbox. It is, therefore, a tool that can be very useful for anyone who practices the GTD methodology.

The audio capturing feature is especially interesting, since the message goes through a voice recognition system that allows the audio file to be accompanied by a text that contains the first words of the message. Ideal for identifying at a glance each of the messages you have in your inbox.

Braintoss integration

Another useful feature is that Braintoss appears in the share option of the rest of the apps in your smartphone, so you can easily capture a web page from the browser, a tweet from Twitter, etc.

If you use Braintoss and want your captures to reach the FacileThings Inbox, these are the steps you must follow to set up the integration:

  1. Set up Braintoss with your primary email address.
  2. From Braintoss, send a note with the text set from unique. This configures your account so that Braintoss sends your emails from a unique email address, something necessary for FacileThings to recognize what emails are yours.
  3. From Braintoss, send another note, now with the word settings. This causes Braintoss to send you an email with your setting values. Pay attention to the BTid parameter, because its value will be the prefix of your unique email address in Braintoss.
  4. In the FacileThings Account option, Emails section, add an email address formed with the value of the BTid parameter followed by @braintoss.com (it will be something similar to [email protected]).
  5. Braintoss will forward the confirmation email issued by FacileThings to your inbox. Click on the button “Confirm your new email” that you will find in that email (if the message doesn’t arrive in HTML format, look for a link that begins with “https://app.facilethings.com/confirm_mail” and click on it).
  6. In Braintoss, change your primary email address to [email protected] (replace BTid with the value of your unique identifier).

After this, anything you capture in Braintoss should arrive in your FacileThings Inbox.
