Front Desk Receptionist, set up as the Email Receptionist

Answers the shared inbox in the business's voice.

Point a dedicated folder of your mailbox at the Receptionist and it answers new enquiries the way you would: grounded in your own material, threaded into the same conversation, capped so it never loops, and silent on auto-replies and newsletters. Anything that needs a person is flagged, not guessed at.

A typical runRunning
  1. Email arrives in the connected folder
  2. Email Receptionist

    Answers the shared inbox in the business's voice.

  3. Watches the folder you choose

    It reads new mail in one dedicated folder of your mailbox, never your whole inbox, and leaves auto-replies, newsletters and mailing lists alone.

  4. Replies in your voice

    Answers come from your knowledge base, written in your tone, and go out threaded into the same conversation from your own address.

  5. Flags what needs you

    Anything it cannot answer is handed to you with the thread attached, and it caps how many times it replies in any one thread.

  6. Inbox handled, handoffs flagged to you

Without it

With the Email Receptionist

The shared inbox fills up with the same few questions every day.

Routine questions are answered in the thread, in your voice.

An out-of-office or a mailing list can set off an endless reply loop.

Automated mail is detected and left alone before any reply is written.
