# Example: Enable Actions by Email for a Form Task

This example demonstrates how to enable the **Actions by Email** setting for a Form Task. This feature allows process participants to complete tasks directly through email without logging into ProcessMaker Platform.

Enabling Actions by Email involves two steps:

1. Create an Email Screen that will be displayed to the participants.
2. Select the Email Screen in the configuration of a Form Task or Manual Task.

> [!WARNING]
> Forwarding Emails
> 
> If an Actions by Email notification is forwarded to another user, that user can still complete the action, and the system will treat it as if it came from the original assignee. Therefore, use caution when forwarding these emails, as this may allow unauthorized Task actions.

### Create an Email Screen

To enable Actions by Email for a task, an email screen must be created that will be displayed to the participant. This screen should provide the recipient with enough information to make an informed decision and take action on the task.

An E-mail screen can have the following controls:

- [Rich Text](/v1/docs/rich-text-control) control
- [Record List](/v1/docs/record-list-control) control
- [Link URL](/v1/docs/submit-button-control) control
- [Submit Button](/v1/docs/submit-button-control) control

For more information, see [Screen Types](/v1/docs/screens). Watch the following product tour to learn how to create an email screen.
