Inbox is where conversations live. Each conversation is a thread — one ongoing exchange with a customer or owner, on a channel. Email is the channel you have today. Later channels would use the same Inbox, with their own channel badge. Open Inbox from the sidebar, or from the Inbox page.

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 channelemail today
  • Whether the thread is Open or Closed
  • When the last message was sent or received
Tabs filter Open and Closed threads. Open a thread to read its timeline. That list is paginated and includes more than messages: inbound and outbound mail, plus status and assignee changes. Inbound is what you received; outbound is what you sent. Yorlet tries to attach the other party to a customer or owner when their address matches a record on the account.
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:
  1. Open Inbox.
  2. Click New conversation.
  3. Choose Customer or Owner, then pick who to email.
  4. Optionally choose the From address. It defaults to the agent address.
  5. Enter a Subject and Message, then click Send.
The send opens as a thread in Inbox. To start a conversation from a customer or owner, follow these steps:
  1. Open the customer or owner.
  2. Click New on the Inbox section, or open Actions and click New conversation.
  3. Enter a Subject and Message, then click Send.
The customer or owner must have an email address on their record.

How a conversation starts

When someone emails a provisioned address:
  1. Yorlet matches the recipient to that address.
  2. It matches the sender to a customer or owner when it can.
  3. It adds the message to a thread in Inbox — creating one if needed.
  4. Automated mail such as out-of-office replies is stored, but the email agent does not draft a reply.
Mail to any provisioned address is stored in Inbox, not only the agent address.

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.
Those sends still follow agent policy. Approve them from Approvals.
