Reply💬and Forward Emails🔁

When it comes to replying to a prospect, Saleshandy makes it super easy right from the thread within the Unified Inbox. 📥💬 You no longer have to switch between accounts because we've got you covered!

The prospect's name and avatar are always shown in the left panel for easy identification. For quick reference, the subject line is displayed directly below the prospect's information.

To reply to the prospect, click the reply icon next to the email. You'll be able to type and send your response seamlessly. Now, with the addition of the "Reply All" feature, you have even more flexibility.

This new functionality lets you respond to all recipients within the same email thread. Conveniently, you'll find two "Reply All" buttons one at the bottom of the conversation and one beside every thread in the conversation.

Note: The "Reply All" feature will only be visible when the email thread has more than one recipient.

Reply indicators help keep track of conversations:

You Replied Last: An arrow and the first line of your reply are shown.
Prospect Replied Last: The first line of the prospect's reply is displayed.

Your email response will be sent using the same account you used to send the original email, maintaining consistency across your communications.📨

You can also add CC and BCC while conversing with prospects or leads from the Unified Inbox. It's all about keeping your communication organized and efficient. 🤝📩

Sequence and outcome chips are shown at the bottom of the conversation. If a conversation is marked "Finished" or "Unsubscribed," this status will replace the outcome chip.

Additionally, the new update ensures that you can include "CC" details when forwarding an email, enhancing transparency in communications with multiple recipients.

To forward an email, click on "Forward." It's as simple as that! 🔁📧 Plus, our latest update ensures that CC and BCC details are visible when necessary, following the order from > to > cc > bcc > date. This ensures that you only see these details when they are relevant, avoiding clutter.

🏆Best practices for using Unified Inbox

To maximize your success, here are some essential best practices to keep in mind when engaging with leads:

1️⃣ Always send a test reply after connecting your email account. 📧✅ This ensures everything is set up correctly and allows you to double-check the sending and receiving process.

2️⃣ Keep your replies simple and personalized, and avoid pre-defined templates. 💬🚫 Make each response feel genuine and tailored to the individual recipient.

3️⃣ When you receive a positive response, take the time to understand its intent. 🤔👍 Don't assume anything and respond accordingly, ensuring you address any questions or concerns.

4️⃣ Aim to respond quickly to every conversation. ⏰💨 Prompt and timely replies demonstrate professionalism and attentiveness, building trust and rapport with your leads.

5️⃣ After a certain interval, reach out to not-interested conversations with another sequence. 🔄⏳ Circumstances and priorities can change so that a follow-up might catch their attention at a better time.

6️⃣ Respond to every opportunity, even if the lead doesn't initially seem very interested. 💼🔓 You never know when a seemingly disinterested lead might turn into a valuable prospect.

Remember, following these best practices when replying to leads can significantly enhance your chances of success. Keep the tone friendly, engaging, and conversational, reflecting your approachable personality. 😊✨

So, put these tips into action and watch your lead engagement soar! Good luck and happy connecting! 🚀💌

🚫Limitations 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.

💡 Unified Inbox Displays Email up to 90 Days

🔒 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.

📩 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.

📤 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.

Starter Plan & Trial Plan Restriction

The Trial & Starter Plan users can only see the First 15 Email Threads.
Users in the Starter Plan cannot reply to and forward emails.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

New Features Inside Unified Inbox

You can see Unread Conversations separately.
Add up to 10 members in Cc and Bcc each.
You can check the details of the message, such as the sender, People in Cc, Bcc, and Timestamp.

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 reply from the Unified Inbox, the BCC is not filled in. It is there on my initial sequence email, 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 prospects' replies forwarded to another address within SalesHandy, or do I need to do that in my mail client?

You must manually add the email to BCC while replying from Unified Inbox because the BCC auto-fills only work with emails sent from sequences.

To forward emails, you need to enable forwarding in the respective email client. Currently, Saleshandy doesn't offer an in-built email forwarding function.

Wishing you a delightful experience! ❤️

Happy Selling. 🤝

Warmest regards,
