Docs/Inbox/Reading a conversation

Reading a conversation

Open a thread, expand and collapse messages Gmail-style, and see a booked meeting appear inline.

Click any row and the list slides away for the full thread — every email your campaign sent and every reply the lead wrote back, laid out exactly the way Gmail does it: newest message open, everything else tucked into a single line until you need it.

Opening and reading a thread

1

Open a conversation

Click any row in Inbox, Sent, or Starred. It's marked read the instant you open it, and the unread count updates immediately.

2

The latest message opens automatically

Everything earlier in the thread collapses to a one-line summary — sender, a short preview, and the date. Click any collapsed line to expand it.

3

Star or print the latest message

Both actions live right next to the timestamp on the most recent message — no need to go back to the list to star something you just read.

4

See a booked meeting inline

If this lead's reply led to a meeting, a card appears right in the thread with the confirmed time and a Join Google Meet button — or proposed time slots if it's still awaiting confirmation.

5

Jump to the next conversation

Use the arrows next to the subject line (with a "3 of 12" style counter) to move through every conversation in the current folder without going back to the list.

6

Head back to the list

Click the back arrow at any time — your folder, filters, and scroll position are exactly as you left them.

There's no reply box — here's why

This is a reading and triage view, not a compose window

You won't find a reply field at the bottom of the thread — that's deliberate. The Inbox exists to show you what's happening across your outreach, not to be a second email client. Actually responding to a lead happens one of two ways: automatically, through an AI Generate Email step in your campaign's follow-up sequence, or manually, from the real mailbox (Gmail, Outlook, or your SMTP client) the message actually lives in.

Want AI to handle replies for you? Set up an AI Generate Email action after a Reply Received trigger in the campaign's Follow-up sequence builder — it reads the whole thread and writes a response tailored to what the lead said.

Opening a draft instead

Rows in the Draft folder open a lighter detail view instead of a thread — recipient, sender, the campaign it belongs to, a Scheduled badge, the subject, and a preview of what's about to send. These are draft-mode campaign emails sitting in a real mailbox ahead of their send time; click Manage in Drafts → to review, edit, or cancel one before it goes out.
