Tip of the Week #61– 5 easy ways to declutter your inbox!

Managing a shared inbox is easier than you think. With the right tools and a smart approach, your team can stay on top of every conversation, collaborate more effectively, and deliver timely responses without any unnecessary back-and-forth.
Here are 5 simple tips to declutter your inbox :
  1. Use tags to sort conversations
    Use shared tags to organize your conversations into different groups. For example, you can tag messages as "Priority", "feedback", “Payments,” or “Urgent.” This makes it easier for your team to quickly see what each message is about and find what they need.
  2. Assign threads to the right people
    Don’t let emails float around without ownership. Assigning ensures accountability and faster responses.
  3. Archive inactive threads
     If the conversation’s over, archive it. This clears the clutter without deleting anything important.
  4. Set up automation rules
    Automate repetitive actions such as  tagging, assigning, or sending responses for common queries. Less manual work results in more focus.
  5. Snooze less important threads
    Snooze a particular thread if the task in the thread is of less priority and can wait for a longer time, but you want to be reminded of it later.

I created a custom module and instead of having a name as being the primary field, I changed it to an auto-number. I didn't realise that all searches would only show this reference.
