Working with emails

Email integration features in Creatio enable you to enrich the history of your cooperation with customers. The emails that you receive will be automatically bound to other objects in Creatio. You can create and manage emails and run business processes by email directly in Creatio.

Note

To receive and send emails in Creatio, you need to set up the email provider connection parameters, add an email account and set up mailbox synchronization. If your email provider uses IMAP/SMTP protocol, you will need to set up the integration with the mailbox by IMAP/SMTP protocol. There are pre-configured providers for popular email services, such as Gmail, Yahoo and AOL mail. If you use the MS Outlook email service, set up the integration with MS Exchange.

Open the email area by clicking the btn_com_email_tab.png button on the communication panel. The button counter displays the number of unread email messages.

At the top of the [Email] tab on the communication panel you can see filters and buttons for managing emails (Fig. 1). You can:

  • Create a new email-message. Read more >>>

  • Add a new account and set up your mailbox. Read more >>> 

  • How to upload emails to Creatio Read more >>> 

  • You can filter your mails, for example, display only the outbound or unprocessed email messages.

Email messages are displayed as a list. You can see the sender’s data, time of sending, email subject and the initial text in every email. At the bottom of each email you can see the icons of all bound objects (Fig. 2). You will understand what Creatio records your email is bound to and what additional data you have at a single glance.
