Recommended workflow
- Open the Inbox and filter to replies only, using a quick range such as Today or This Week.
- Open the first conversation and read the timeline. Reply cards show whether it was positive, not interested, or a question.
- Check the context. Look at the contact’s pipeline stage and recent notes before you answer.
- Reply. Write your message, or ask AI to draft one from the conversation, and add your own direction.
- Send. Add CC or BCC recipients if you need to. Your draft is kept if you switch contacts first.
- Set the next step. Create a task, change the stage, or add a note on the contact’s profile.
- Finish the pass. Filter by pipeline stage or tag to find conversations still waiting for a follow-up.
Find a conversation
The contact list on the left starts with Recently Contacted. Search it (Ctrl+Alt+S jumps to the search box), and narrow it by:- Pipeline, stage, and substage.
- Contact tags, included or excluded.
- The date of the last message, with quick ranges such as Today or This Week.
- Replies only, or all messages.
Read the timeline
Select a contact to see their activity timeline. Filter it by All, Messages, Notes, or System events.- Messages show as email, social message, or SMS cards. Email cards show whether each recipient’s delivery was accepted.
- Replies to sequences are labelled by intent, such as Positive, Not interested, or Question.
- System events record things Jobin did, for example that an out-of-office reply was handled.
- Attachments from email and social messages show in the timeline. Preview images, or download any file, with its name and size.
- Older activity. Search older activity and scroll back to the beginning of the conversation. You can also sync a contact’s social conversation history.
Write a message
Reply in the composer at the bottom, or open the advanced editor with your draft. Ctrl+Alt+W focuses the message.- Drafts are kept. Switch to another contact and come back, and your unsent draft is still there.
- Copy others in. Add CC and BCC recipients on a one-off email, from your CRM contacts or any valid email address.
- Personalize. Type @ to insert smart fields for the contact, the sender, the job, and custom data.
- Draft with AI. Ask AI to draft a reply from the conversation. Choose which messages it uses (all messages, emails only, social only, or SMS only), and add your own direction, such as “ask about availability for a short call”.
