16bugs

Today, we’re announcing one of the most wanted features of all times: replying to notification emails!

When you receive a notification email simply hit the reply button in your email client and enter the comment you want to submit above the line:

========== Reply ABOVE this line to submit a comment ==========

It’s that easy! No need to login to your account, which is extremely useful when you’re on the go and have only access to a mobile device. Keep in mind you can’t post attachments using this method. If you need to upload a file you’ll still need to log into your account.

But there’s one more thing…

Posting a comment via email is awesome, but what if you could update the bug, too?

Simply add a line like this anywhere in the reply area (it won’t appear in the comment on the website):

@16bugs: assign:user status:verified priority:high

Parameters don’t need to be exact matches: the closest match will be picked automatically. For example, assign:doe will match a developer named John Doe, status:v will match status Verified and priority:s will match priority Severe. You get it. :)

This feature is available on all paid plans, so if you haven’t upgraded, yet, here is a chance to upgrade your account with a 50% discount for the first month: simply use coupon code IWANTEMAILS at checkout.

We’re already working on a bunch of new features…SVN integration anyone? Keep an eye on the blog to know what we’re up to and subscribe to the feed if you haven’t already.
