It’s Monday and you check your inbox. It looks like the digital marketers have been busy sending you all sorts of emails over the weekend. They’re probably gearing up for the holidays and they’re flooding your inbox with holiday clickbait. The problem is, you don’t have time to read through all of your new messages to decide which ones to address and which ones are just a lot of vendor waffle.
If only you had tools that can automate sorting through your email. Oh wait, there are tools for that! The good news is that there are many tools you can use to manage and automate your emails. You just have to try them out and see for yourself which one will work best for you. Here are 3 of the amazing email management tools that can help you wrangle that out-of-control inbox.
Boomerang:
Boomerang is a tool that lets you control when you send and receive a message. Sure there are email schedulers built into almost every email app, where you can compose a message now and then schedule it to be sent at a later time or date. What’s cool about Boomerang is that it has a handy calendar picker that lets you pick a time and date to send your reply. It is also an intuitive app that understands texts like “next Wednesday” and Boomerang can automatically take it from there. It also has nifty reminders for important messages and for following up on email.
Mixmax:
Mixmax is great for small to medium businesses. It has automation for tasks that help build your customer database. You can set it up to send customers a LinkedIn Connection request and a follow-up email with more information on your company. Also, not to be creepy or anything, but wouldn’t you love to know when your email is opened – by who, at what time, and on what device? This is especially helpful if you’re in the marketing business and would love to know when most of your clients or customers are actually reading your updates. Like Boomerang, it also has reminders for follow up and can also recommend sending times. It comes with email and calendar templates and, as a huge plus for businesses, can easily integrate with Salesforce CRM.
SaneBox:
SaneBox AI identifies important messages, hides distractions, has Do Not Disturb, banishes annoying senders, reminds you to follow up. Your important emails stay in your inbox and distractions are moved to a SaneLater folder, which you can check and if you find an important email, move it to your inbox. Future messages from that sender will automatically stay in your inbox. You can create folders for other types of emails like “news” and SaneBox will automatically filter your email for items that fit your folder. You can use it for Gmail, Office 365, or iCloud.
