The G-2-T button does not consistently appear in my Gmail. Sometimes it's there, sometimes I can't find it. The few times I've been able to see the button in Gmail and use it, I have loved it.

This bridges the chasm between Gmail and Trello. This is worlds away better being able to add and create cards with labels, assignments, and attachments than Trello's normal email to the board flow. It was great while it worked even if it had a few quirks / bugs. However, this stopped loading / showing up completely in my browser today.

This tool is so simple to use, but has profound benefits for my work. I no longer have an overflowing inbox, as I can create tasks in the appropriate Trello lists and archive the emails away, confident that the original email is only one click away from the Trello cards. Support has been superb, with one of my feature requests added in less than a week.
