How to triage a shared inbox

Assign, note, snooze or draft. MAILTIG keeps the contact, campaign step and thread together so a shared inbox is a queue, not a scavenger hunt.

Three inbox cards in a queue with one assigned to a person.

A reply without context is a ticket. MAILTIG's inbox is built so the person answering can see the sequence that caused the message.

The unit of work

Open a thread. You should see:

  • The contact, list and company
  • The campaign and the step that sent
  • Prior mail in that conversation
  • Assignee, notes and tasks

If receive is not configured for that mailbox (SMTP without IMAP, or an ESP send-only sender), the reply will not appear here. It will be in the provider inbox.

A practical queue

  1. Unassigned, unread. Claim it or assign it.
  2. Positive reply. Move the contact off the sequence (a reply parks or completes according to the campaign). Log the next human step.
  3. Out of office. Decide whether to wait. MAILTIG does not auto-resume an out-of-office as a buying signal.
  4. Unsubscribe or "stop". Honour it. Suppression is the next click, not a debate.
  5. AI draft (if enabled). Read it. Edit it. Send it yourself. The sample exhibit on this site labels drafts as demonstration-only.

The interactive sample on the inbox feature page uses fictional names. Use it to learn the layout before you create a workspace.
