In today's technical world, email communication is becoming more vital than ever and visibility to communications is imperative. With the Aisle Planner Email Hub, you can now easily communicate with your client and have it integrate with your business email so you will have access to the thread in both your AP account and email inbox.
Getting Started with Email Integration
To begin utilizing client email, you must first integrate your third-party email within your Aisle Planner account settings. Head to your account settings, and click on the Integrations tab. You will see an option for email integration. Click the connect button to link your account.
If you are a user on a business account and do not see this option, contact your account owner to ask for email integration abilities. Depending on the account size and number of users, this may require an additional fee.
Sending your Lead an Email
Once your third-party email is integrated, you will see the option to Send Email from your lead manager. This capability lives in 3 different locations:
The [SEND E-MAIL] button from within the Lead Record (gold actions arrow in top right corner)
The [SEND E-MAIL] button from the Lead Index (3-dot 'more options' menu in a lead row)
The lead's email center
Once the pro sends one email to a lead, they will find evidence of the sent email in the lead activity log. Clicking on the activity will redirect the pro to the lead's email center where there is a [CREATE NEW E-MAIL] button.
Customizing & Formating a Lead Email
If you have set up email branding in your settings, the same branding with logo and/or footer will be applied to your lead emails.
In addition to branding, here are the other formatting options you have with the lead email feature:
You can add 1 or more email recipients, as well as CC and BCC additional persons and/or team members. To add multiple emails, separate each email with a comma (,)
If the lead has an email address entered in their record, that email address will automatically populate in the recipient field.
Customize your subject line, as well as the email message (text formatting). Below are the current Email Text Formatting Options
Utilize your current Email Templates
Please note, current email templates are not formatted and therefore will need to be edited once populated in the new message body including bolding, italicizing, or underlining. You can now also add embedded links both to locations within AP as well as external links.
Attach files (PDF, images, Word Doc, Excel, etc.)
The max file size is: 2.86 Mb
You can attach as many files as you would like to the email as long as you do not exceed the max file size
Preview your email before sending it to a lead
When previewing an email, make sure to use the 'Back to Editor' button at the bottom vs hitting the Back button on your browser. (this may require scrolling down depending on screen size) Hitting the browser back button will result in the loss of all content created in the email
