A lot of you spend a big part of your day using Mailroom. But what about the other people on your company who don’t use Mailroom regularly?

Until today people like this had only one way of receiving notification when new emails were assigned to them. They could subscribe to an RSS feed at the bottom of their Needs Attention page. This worked for some people, but most of us live in our regular inbox, so today we’re announcing…

Email Notifications!

That right, now Mailroom can send an email to your personal inbox whenever you have new messages you need to deal with. Notifications are perfect for those sales people, technicians or anyone else who only use Mailroom occassionaly.

This also makes Mailroom a pretty dang good ticketing system for your whole company using notes.

To turn on email notifications for yourself, its easy. Just log into your account, click on “preferences” in the upper right hand corner then choose something other than “None” from the Notification pop-up that appears on your settings page. Click Save Changes and you’re done:

If you have other people in your company who you think would like to receive email notifications, send them these instructions and they can turn it on for themselves also.

Email notifications are sent to you whenever an event happens that involves you. For example, if someone reassigns an email to you, if you reassign an email to someone else, if a new email reply comes in, or if someone leaves you a note.

We have more features in the oven that just about ready to come out so stay tuned…
