๐ŸšซLimitations for using Unified Inbox

While the Unified Inbox offers a powerful platform to access and plan action items for every email, it's important to be aware of a few limitations.

๐Ÿ’ก Unified Inbox Displays Email up to 90 Days

๐Ÿ”’ Only sequence owners can view the replies of the prospects. This means team members without ownership of a sequence won't have access to prospect replies within the Unified Inbox.

๐Ÿ“ฉ Only replies for the sequences would be visible in the Unified Inbox. Other types of emails, such as forwarded messages or non-sequence conversations, won't appear in the Unified Inbox.

๐Ÿ“ค Users can't see the conversations for the forwarded emails. Unfortunately, the Unified Inbox doesn't display the threaded conversations for emails that have been forwarded.

While these limitations exist, the Unified Inbox still provides an efficient way to manage and organize email interactions. Please take a look at these considerations as you navigate the features and make the most of this valuable tool.

Srarter Plan & Trial Plan Restriction

  • The Trial & Starter Plan users can only see the First 10 Email Threads.

  • Users in the Starter Plan cannot reply to and forward emails.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

New Features Inside Unified Inbox

  1. You can see Unread Conversations separately.

  2. Add up to 10 members in Cc and Bcc each.

  3. You can check the details of the message like sender, People in Cc, Bcc, Timestamp, etc.

How do I link my Email Accounts to the Unified Inbox?

You do not need to connect exclusively any emails to a Unified Inbox. Any active sequence will appear in the Unified inbox when it receives a response.

When I do replies from the Unified Inbox, the BCC is not being filled in. On my initial sequence email, it is there, but not when I reply to a message from the prospect.

Emails sent from Saleshandy/sequence will have the BCC option, but the replies you send from the mailbox will not have that option.

Is there an option to have replies from prospects forwarded to another address within SalesHandy, or do I need to do that in my mail client?

You need to manually add the email to BCC while replying from Unified Inbox because the BCC auto-fills only work with emails sent from sequences.
โ€‹
For email forwarding, you need to enable email forwarding in the respective email client. Currently, Saleshandy doesn't offer an in-built email forwarding function.

Wishing you a delightful experience! โค๏ธ

Happy Selling. ๐Ÿค
