AroFlo lets you create a unique email address for individual tasks and quotes, so emails about that task/quote can be sent directly to it. Emails can include attachments which are then saved in the documents and photos tab of the task/quote. This works for tasks and quotes of all statuses, including completed tasks and approved quotes.
