Create a workspace support address and handle customer email in the shared Inbox.

Updated 2026-07-24For: Administrators · Agents

Email is asynchronous. The subject, body, and attachments become a conversation, and agent replies are sent from the channel address.

Steps

Add Email

Open Channels and choose Add entry → Email → Use a NavoChat email.

Configure the address

Set the entry name, available local part, and sender name.

Configure support

Choose the team, human- or AI-first handling, handoff assignment, and enabled state.

Send a test email

Write from an external mailbox, confirm that it reaches the correct queue, and reply from the Inbox.

Review delivery

If a reply fails, read the error and avoid repeated sends. Correct the address or connection state before retrying.
