Email Inbox
Email Inbox allows users to access and manage business emails directly inside ERPNext.
Email Inbox brings all transactional emails into ERPNext so users can manage communication without leaving the system.
Overview
ERPNext Email Inbox synchronizes emails from connected Email Accounts and displays them inside the system for each user.
This helps centralize communication with customers, suppliers, and internal teams.
Setup Requirements
1. Create a User
Email Inbox works only for system users. Each person must be added as a User with proper permissions.
2. Configure Email Domain
Email Domain stores SMTP/IMAP configuration details for email providers like Gmail or Outlook.
Supported services include Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, SendGrid, Sparkpost, and others.
Email Domain is required before setting up Email Accounts for inbox access.
3. Create Email Account
Each user must have an Email Account linked to their email ID.
If the password is not available, the “Awaiting Password” option can be enabled so the user can enter it later.
4. Link Email Account to User
After creating the Email Account, it must be linked to the User to enable personal inbox access.
Multiple email accounts can be linked to a single user.
Using Email Inbox
Once configured, the Email Inbox icon appears in the user interface after login.
Users can view, reply, forward, and manage emails directly inside ERPNext.
