iPhone - Manage emails

Email is a popular mode of communication preferred by most businesses. With the help of the 'Emails' tab in the record details page, sales reps no longer have to switch between their Bigin app and email app to check emails from their customers. They can send and reply to emails from the record details page which also displays the communication carried out with the customer so far.
