Here, you can find some examples how E-mail Boxes could be used for teams and departments.
Connect your info, contact or support email accounts. Support team receives those mails as a task and take action easily.
You can answers e-mails from your clients for their requests, or technical problems, or product that they buy. Support team can assign the task to another department, if it is necessary.
Example for Support Team
So, you take action easily and answer emails quickly. Your customers will be pleased with your service.
Connect the e-mail addresses of your company such as [email protected], which are used for departments such as human resources, accounting, sales. Imcoming mails related with those department drop related projects in Cubicl.
E-mail senders may not always send emails to the right email accounts. In such cases, you can drag and drop the task to the relevant project. As can be seen in the example below, "Application for React Native Developer" mail is sent to Customer Services department. However, the task is related with Human Resources department, so we drag and drop the task to that team.
Change the Project of Incoming Mail
Connect your career and human resources email accounts to Cubicl. Manage job applications in Cubicl. You can create projects such as Recruitment, Career, Job Applications etc. for incoming mails. In the project where CVs come, you can create task states for interview process. To customize task states in the project, visit the Project Settings page.
