Provision addresses, bring a domain, and send on the email channel

How the assistant, email agent, and Recover triage use Inbox threads
Threads
A thread groups messages between your account and one other party on a channel. On email, that is one of your provisioned addresses and one other mailbox. Yorlet matches a new message to an existing thread when it can — using the message headers if this is a reply, otherwise the address plus subject. Each row shows:- The subject, or the other party’s address if there is no subject
- The channel —
emailtoday - Whether the thread is Open or Closed
- When the last message was sent or received
Threads are channel-neutral. Email is the only channel today; a later channel such as SMS would appear in the same Inbox with its own channel badge.
Start a conversation
You can email a customer or owner from Inbox, or from their page. You need a provisioned address first. To start a conversation from Inbox, follow these steps:- Open Inbox.
- Click New conversation.
- Choose Customer or Owner, then pick who to email.
- Optionally choose the From address. It defaults to the agent address.
- Enter a Subject and Message, then click Send.
- Open the customer or owner.
- Click New on the Inbox section, or open Actions and click New conversation.
- Enter a Subject and Message, then click Send.
How a conversation starts
When someone emails a provisioned address:- Yorlet matches the recipient to that address.
- It matches the sender to a customer or owner when it can.
- It adds the message to a thread in Inbox — creating one if needed.
- Automated mail such as out-of-office replies is stored, but the email agent does not draft a reply.
Agents
Agents read and write the same threads you see in Inbox:- The email agent drafts a reply on a thread when someone emails the agent address.
- Recover triage reads a customer’s threads before it proposes enrolment or a send.
- The assistant and Claude or ChatGPT can send on a thread when you ask them to.
