How it works
Inbox in Woodpecker is where you can find your prospects' replies (All), send a New Email, Reply to your prospects, Forward your messages or Delete them. Scroll down to learn more about these options or jump to the last section to learn what else you can do in Woodpecker Inbox.
Your Inbox is divided into sub-categories where you can find replies:
marked as interested, maybe later, or not interested. Learn more How to use interest level? »
messages from the prospects of the particular status: responded, autoreplied, bounced, invalid, blacklisted, opt-out. You can find more information about statuses in our article What does the STATUS of a prospect mean?
Who can see the Inbox?
The Inbox can only be seen and reviewed by users who connected their emails to the account. No matter your role on an account, it’s a core functionality of our App and cannot be changed.
If you want a user other than you to see the Inbox tab, the solution is to disconnect their account in the app so they can connect it themselves – the same address cannot be connected twice, so this is the only solution. Keep in mind that when doing this, the history of this mailbox will be lost.
Centralized Inbox
Centralized Inbox collects messages from all mailboxes connected to a Woodpecker account. In the preview of a message, you'll see who this email refers to next to the "Recipient" field.
The search bar for the Centralized Inbox will find emails from two months ago. If you want to see an older message, you'll have to find it manually.
In the Centralized Inbox, you will see the addresses you have connected yourself — this works in the same way as the visibility of individual inboxes in the inbox tab.
New Email
New Email allows you to create a new message directly from your Woodpecker Inbox.
Sending an email using the New Mail feature automatically creates a new campaign.
That campaign is added to the queue if you have more campaigns running.
Campaigns created by sending a single email will be added to a folder CUSTOM EMAIL. If you change this folder’s name, Woodpecker will create a new one, also called CUSTOM EMAIL, and assign a new campaign to that folder.
What can you do?
Change the sender’s email (you need to have at least 2 mailboxes connected).
Type or paste in your prospect's email address.
Add Cc and Bcc.
Fill in the Subject line.
Change the font type and size.
Disable/enable open tracking.
Where can I find my custom emails?
Go to Campaigns.
Filter your campaigns by Folder → CUSTOM EMAILS. Read more about folders »
Reply
This feature allows you to answer your prospect's email.
While creating a reply, the open tracking option is disabled.
As there is no sent box in Woodpecker, you won't find your sent replies in the App.
What can you do?
Change the sender’s email.
Write your addressee’s email address.
Add Cc and Bcc.
Fill in the Subject line.
