Task

New booking - from email&nbsp;<ul><li>Ability to ‘suck in’ an email into a Booking.</li><li>The contents of the Email &nbsp;(include To: From, &nbsp;Date, cc, Subject and the main body) should be brought into a single field which is appended at the bottom of the Booking screen (full width of screen and deep).</li><li>The email from field should populate the Booking.Email field. &nbsp;<ul><li>Think of it this way. &nbsp;Say we get the following email from <a href="mailto:john.smith@gmail.com">john.smith@gmail.com</a> “Subject: &nbsp;Reservation request for Smith family… &nbsp; &nbsp;Body: Hello Alpinexpress, &nbsp;I would like to book 2 transfers. &nbsp;the first on 1 March 2026, picking up at Geneva airport. We are on EZ 1234 from gatwick. we need to go to Chalet Makini in Verbier. &nbsp;We are 3 people. &nbsp; &nbsp;And we are returning a week later on the flight EZ23456 at 11.30am. &nbsp; thank you, John Smith +44 758877444444”</li></ul></li><li>We should be able to see the full email (not just the body, but also the email address of sender, date/time and subject) and then we can make sure we have uploaded the email accurately and kept a record of that in the booking.</li><li>In truth it is really for auditing and to help the booker convert an email to a set of transfers&nbsp;</li><li>Systematically, it needs to pull in the From, CC, Subject and Body fields from the email, and format nicely into a single field. &nbsp; Then it should fill name the client email with the senders email. &nbsp;That's it. &nbsp; &nbsp;Does that make sense?&nbsp;</li><li>We have some of this functionality already - just not bringing it into a new booking.&nbsp;</li><li>The process of adding a new booking should move the email to DONE directory&nbsp;</li><li>In Company Details we have fields that define where to look in the email for new bookings and where to place them once uploaded. And the email login and password - do you remember that?</li></ul>
