Anslation One · Work
Work and communication, mail to done, without switching apps.
Work and communication in Anslation One is one place for your mail, team chat, calendar, tasks, boards, notes and files. A mail or a chat message can become a task, then shared work on a team board.
What sets Work and communication apart, in one workspace.
A mail becomes a task, with a link back.
Make a task turns a mail into a task with its subject, sender and date, ready to move onto a team’s Workboard space.
Urgent messages alert the whole conversation.
Mark a message Urgent or Notify, and everyone in the conversation is alerted by bell and push.
A calendar that knows who is out.
Company holidays, leave, birthdays and HR deadlines sit beside your events, and the event form warns when a guest is on leave that day.
Private to-dos, shared boards.
Tasks and Notes stay yours alone, and a to-do moves onto a team’s Workboard space when it becomes shared work.
Works in a phone browser, not only at a desk.
Swipe a mail to archive it, drag a board card onto a status strip and open Messages from the tab bar at the bottom.

How it works
From a mail to a task on a team board
A request that arrives by mail becomes shared work on a team board, and it shows up wherever you plan your day.
A mail arrives
A client asks for something by mail, in the mailbox you connected.
Make a task
Make a task files it in your Tasks, titled with the subject and carrying the sender, date and a link back to the mail.
Move to Workboard
Move the task to a team space, and its notes, due date, priority and steps come with it, still assigned to you.
See it everywhere
It shows in My work, in the Your work card on My Day and on your calendar on its due date.
Who uses it, and for what.
Each person sees the tools their role opens, scoped to the company, a department, a team or their own work.
- Employees and contractorsUse their own mail, chats, calendar, private tasks and notes, Drive, and the board work assigned to them in My work.
- Team leadsRun their team’s Workboard spaces and follow the team’s workload on the Work dashboard.
- Managers and HRRead work reports on people, spaces and trends and hand over a leaver’s work, and department managers publish calendar events to their department.
- Owners and adminsChoose the company’s mail settings, such as allowed providers and domains, watch mail connection health, and set up company, department and team channels.

What is Work and communication in Anslation One?
Work and communication is the part of Anslation One where people read their mail, chat, plan meetings, keep tasks and notes, run team boards and share files. A mail or a chat message can become a task, and a task can move onto a team’s Workboard space.
Does it replace Gmail or Outlook?
No. Anslation One is not an email host and provides no mailboxes or domains. Each person connects the mailbox they already use, whether Google Workspace or Gmail, Microsoft 365 or Outlook, or any IMAP and SMTP mailbox, and reads and answers it inside the workspace.
Can an email or a chat message become a task?
Yes. Make a task on a mail files a task with its subject, sender, date and a link back, and Create task does the same for a chat message. The task can then move onto a team’s Workboard space.
Who can see my tasks and notes?
Only you. Tasks is your private to-do list in the current company and Notes are personal, so shared work belongs on a Workboard space, where the space’s access and roles decide who sees it.
Does it include team chat and video calls?
Team chat, yes: direct messages, groups and public or private channels with threads, reactions, mentions, pins, saved messages and search. Calls are not built in: a call opens a Google Meet, which needs the person’s Google Calendar connected, and without it the call buttons stay off and say why.
Does it work with Google Calendar or Outlook?
Yes. You can sync your Anslation One calendar with Google Calendar, and you can subscribe to it from Google, Apple or Outlook with a private link. Two-way sync is Google only, so Outlook and Apple show a read-only copy.
