To initiate an email to a client, begin by ensuring the relevant conversation is open. Then, find the "Email" button located at the lower left of the conversation window. Clicking this will open a message box where you can craft and send your email, seamlessly integrating it into the ongoing dialogue. This keeps all client communications organized and accessible.

Providing Email Details

Before sending an email, it's crucial to enter the correct information into the specified fields for clear and efficient communication. These fields include:

  • Sender's Name

  • Sender's Email Address

  • Recipient's Email Address

  • Subject of the Email

  • CC

  • BCC

  • Email Body

Formatting Options

You can enhance the appearance of your email using various formatting tools available within the message box. For visual guidance, refer to the image below:

Incorporating Custom Values into Emails

Personalizing emails is made easy by inserting custom values derived from customer information gathered through forms, surveys, or appointment schedules. To add a custom value, click the "+" icon at the bottom of the message box.

After clicking, a list of available custom values will be displayed. Select the desired value, and it will automatically be inserted into your email. When sent, the placeholder will be replaced with the corresponding customer information. If the custom value field is blank in your CRM, no information will be displayed. You can configure custom values in the CRM's "Settings" section by navigating to "Custom Values."
