How Does Swivel Handle Email Replies and Where Can I View Them?
Email communication is a vital part of managing customer relationships effectively, and Swivel enables users to send emails through its platform. However, users often ask where they can view replies to these emails. This article explains how Swivel handles email replies and guides you on where to access them.
Overview of Email Reply Management in Swivel
Swivel supports email sending using its domain (via SendGrid) or connected inboxes (e.g., info@ accounts). Regardless of the sending configuration, email replies are not stored or accessible directly within Swivel. Instead, users must manage replies through the external inbox associated with the configured email.
Email Replies with SendGrid
When emails are sent using Swivel’s sending domain (SendGrid), any replies to these emails will not appear inside Swivel. They are delivered to the reply-to email address configured for your domain. Users should access that external inbox to view and respond to replies.
Example:
If your reply-to email address is configured as [email protected], any replies will be sent to that inbox, not Swivel.
Email Replies with Connected Email Accounts (Info@ Accounts)
For users who create an email account (e.g., [email protected]) and connect it through Swivel’s Email & Calendar Sync feature, replies to emails sent from this account will also not reside in Swivel. Instead, replies will go directly to the connected inbox, where users can manage the conversation using their email client.
Example:
If you connect an [email protected] account through Email & Calendar Sync, replies will appear in the info@ inbox tied to your email client.
Recommendations for Managing Replies
To efficiently manage replies, consider the following practices:
Ensure your reply-to email address is configured correctly for emails sent via Swivel’s sending domain (SendGrid).
Regularly monitor the inbox associated with your reply-to address or connected email account.
Use email clients with robust filtering and sorting options to stay organized.
