The Inbox mirrors your connected Gmail / Google Workspace mailbox into Funnel, so email conversations live next to the CRM records they belong to.
The unified Inbox
The Inbox requires the Communication Hub feature and a connected Google account. If you don’t see Inbox in your sidebar, ask your administrator — and see Email & calendar for connecting your account.

Reading your mail

The left rail has Gmail-style folders — Inbox, Unread, Sent, and All Mail — with live counts. Each conversation row shows the sender, subject, a preview snippet, and, when Funnel has matched the conversation to a CRM record, a chip for the record type (Lead, Deal, Contact, or Account). Unread rows are bold; hover one to Mark as read. You can star conversations to keep track of them (stars are personal to your browser). Open a conversation to read the full thread chronologically, with each message tagged Received or Sent. If the thread is linked to a CRM record, a context panel at the top shows that record’s details. Linking is automatic: Funnel matches the email addresses on a conversation to your leads, deals, contacts, and accounts. Matched threads get the record chip and context panel — no manual filing needed.

Replying

On a conversation matched to a lead or deal, click Reply. The composer gives you a rich-text editor (bold, italic, strikethrough, bulleted and numbered lists, links), and your draft autosaves as you type. Send becomes available once there’s a recipient and a message.
Current limitations: replies are available on lead- and deal-matched threads only, and email attachments aren’t yet viewable in the Inbox. An AI Summarize button is visible but marked coming soon.

Calendar invitations

Invitations that arrive by email render as event cards right inside the thread — showing the time, location, and attendees. Respond with Yes / Maybe / No directly from the card; your answer updates Google Calendar and My Schedule. If the event has a Google Meet link, a Join Google Meet button appears.

If sync pauses

A banner at the top of the Inbox warns you when your Google connection needs attention, with a Reconnect link to Settings → Email & Calendar Connections.
