Team email that doesn't feel
like a shared mailbox.

The flow

From your support to a real workflow in minutes.

Connect the email you already use — no migration, no new address for customers to learn.

  1. 01Step 1

    Forward your support@ address

    Point your existing Gmail or Outlook support@ to SMSLocal instead of scattered agent inboxes. Customers keep emailing the same address.

  2. 02Step 2

    Assign to a teammate

    Anyone can pick up, assign, or hand off a conversation — so every email has one clear owner and nothing gets answered twice.

  3. 03Step 3

    Add private notes

    Discuss a reply internally with notes and @mentions on the thread. The conversation stays internal — the customer only sees the final answer.

  4. 04Step 4

    Automate the boring stuff

    Auto-tag, auto-route, and auto-close conversations based on rules, so your team spends its time on the emails that actually matter.

Shared inbox

One shared inbox your whole team works from.

Everyone works the same support@ address together — assigning, mentioning, and resolving in one place, with full customer context and a trail behind every decision.

Assign

One click gives a thread a clear owner — no more orphaned emails.

Reassign

Hand off with full context attached; nothing gets re-explained.

Mention teammates

Pull in an expert mid-thread without leaving the inbox.

Private notes

Discuss internally on the thread — invisible to the customer.

Track activity

A timestamped trail of every reply, note, and assignment.

Manage priorities

Flag urgent threads so they jump to the front of the queue.

Common questions

Common questions, straight answers.

Can I send emails from my own domain?

Yes. Connect your existing support@ address and replies go out from your own domain — customers keep emailing the same place, and every message lands in your shared SMSLocal inbox. No new address to announce, no migration.

How many email inboxes can I have?

The Free plan includes 1 shared email inbox. Starter and above unlock unlimited inboxes, so you can run separate addresses for support, billing, and sales from the same workspace.

Can multiple agents use the same inbox?

That's the whole point. Your team replies from one shared address with collision detection, assignments, and private notes — so no two agents answer the same email.

Does it work with Gmail and Outlook?

Yes. Gmail (Google Workspace), Outlook / Microsoft 365, Zoho, Fastmail, and any standard IMAP/SMTP provider connect in a few clicks.

What about HTML formatting and attachments?

Full rich-text and HTML formatting is supported, along with inline images and attachments — send and receive invoices, screenshots, and shipping labels right on the thread.
