π¬ How Email Integration Works in Client Hub
Manage client communication and take action β without ever leaving your workflow.
Client Hubβs email integration connects directly with your Gmail or Microsoft 365 inbox. Once connected, you can view, organize, and act on emails inside Client Hub while keeping all client communication in one place.
π How Emails Connect to Client Workspaces
Client Hub automatically links incoming and outgoing emails to the correct client so your team always has full conversation history in context.
π§© How Client Hub Matches Emails to the Right Client
Client Hub determines which client workspace an email belongs to using:
- Known Client Users added to the workspace
- Manual linking, when an email doesnβt match an existing Client User or Contact
If the email sender matches a Client User or Contact, the email is automatically linked to that client workspace. Linked emails become part of the clientβs communication history.
If no match exists, the email remains unlinked until you manually associate it with a workspace.
π€ Automatic Workspace Linking
Emails from known Client Users or contacts are automatically linked to their associated workspace. These emails are immediately visible to your team in the workspace, ensuring everyone has access to the same information.
π Manual Linking (When Needed)
If an email comes from a new or unrecognized address, you can manually link it to a client workspace. Once linked, the email appears in the correct workspace and follows the same behavior as other linked emails.
π₯ How Inboxes Work in Client Hub
Client Hub organizes emails into inbox views based on whether the email is linked to a Client Workspace and how recently it was received. Inbox placement is automatic and updates as emails are linked or age over time.
π€ Inbox Sorting Rules (Quick Reference)
Client Hub sorts emails using the following rules:
- Emails from known Client Users or contacts are automatically linked to Client Workspaces and appear in Inbox (Priority) and in the Client Workspace Email pane.
- Emails that are not linked to a Client Workspace appear in Inbox (Recent) for 15 days.
- After 15 days, unlinked emails move to Inbox (Older).
- All emails appear in the All inbox, regardless of link status or age.
β Inbox (Priority)
Inbox (Priority) includes emails that are linked to Client Workspaces.
These emails come from known Client Users or contacts and are automatically associated with the correct workspace. Priority emails also appear directly in the Client Workspace Email pane, alongside jobs, notes, and other client activity.
π Inbox (Recent)
Inbox (Recent) includes emails that are not linked to Client Workspaces and were received within the last 15 days.
This inbox helps you review newer messages that havenβt yet been associated with a client.
ποΈ Inbox (Older)
Inbox (Older) includes emails that are not linked to Client Workspaces and are more than 15 days old.
This keeps Inbox (Recent) focused on newer unlinked emails while still retaining access to older messages.
ποΈ All
All shows every email in Client Hub, including:
- Emails linked to Client Workspaces
- Unlinked emails received in the last 15 days
- Unlinked emails older than 15 days
The All inbox provides a complete view of all synced email, regardless of status.
β What You Can Do with Email in Client Hub
Once emails are in Client Hub, you can take action without switching tools.
π€ Share Emails with Your Team
Linked emails are shared automatically in Client Workspaces. You can also manually link emails to ensure your team has full visibility into client communication.
π Create Jobs from Emails
Turn any email into a job for you or your team. The job includes a direct link to the original email thread, preserving full context.
π Pin Emails
Pin emails that require follow-up or action. Pinned emails help your team stay aligned on what needs attention next.
π§ Summarize Threads
Use AI to summarize long email threads into key takeaways, action items, and highlights to save time and reduce noise.
β¨ Magic Replies
Draft responses using AI-powered suggestions. Review, edit if needed, and send β all without leaving Client Hub.
π How Client Hub Syncs with Your Email Provider
Client Hub maintains two-way sync for key actions:
-
Mark as Done in Client Hub
β The email is archived in your Gmail or Microsoft 365 inbox.
-
Move to Trash in Client Hub
β The email is deleted from your Gmail or Microsoft 365 account.
π¬ If an email is deleted outside of Client Hub (for example, directly from your Gmail or Microsoft 365 inbox), it will not be deleted from Client Hub. This ensures Client Hub retains a complete record of communication.
π Sync Timeframe
When you first connect your email account, Client Hub syncs up to 7 days of past emails from your Gmail or Microsoft 365 inbox.
π‘ Why It Matters
Email integration in Client Hub keeps communication organized, reduces inbox clutter, and ensures your team always has access to the full client conversation β without forwarding, copying, or switching tools.
