Send and receive emails to your contacts directly in the app.
You can both send and receive direct emails to your contacts from within the contact card. It's a convenient and time-saving feature that allows you to monitor your progress directly in the Prowly app.
You can give other users permission to collaborate by giving them access to My Contacts (Admin and Publisher roles). They will be able to see the email threads you start. However, they won't see replies and won't be able to reply in the email threads started by other users.
To send and receive emails, each user needs to connect their own inbox.
Prowly will only show emails you exchange with contacts you saved in My Contacts.
In order to connect your inbox, click your avatar at upper-right corner of the app and select Profile. Then, go to Connected inbox:
Click the Connect your inbox button to start the configuration. Firstly, select the account to configure the inbox with. Secondly, select your email provider and fill in your email and password.
