Reply to an inbound email


Inbound emails are related to members, based on the email they are coming from (and on the existence of this email on the member's records in ColivHQ), and to Issues or Requests, if they come in as reply to emails you have sent from these records. You can see inbound emails on these records, and reply from them. You are also able to see inbound emails in your To-Do list on My ColivHQ (even for emails not related to members or other records). 


To reply to an email:

  1. From an activity record, press the button with the left arrow 
  2. Fill in the email form, in the same way as you would for a new email
  3. Click SEND when ready
