# Email & Notifications Introduction

## **Overview**

Agility Blue includes a powerful email and notification system that allows users to communicate and manage work directly through email.

Whether sending updates, replying to conversations, or creating new work by emailing into the system, Agility Blue ensures that email activity is accurately captured and associated with the correct tasks and projects.

**What You Can Do with Email**

Agility Blue supports several key email workflows:

- **Send emails from within Agility Blue** to communicate updates or share information
- **Reply to emails** and have those responses automatically linked to the correct task or conversation
- **Email into the system** to create new projects and tasks
- **Continue email conversations** while keeping everything connected to the appropriate work

These capabilities make it easy to collaborate with both internal and external users without leaving your email client.

## **How Email Integration Works**

Agility Blue connects email activity to your workspace using a combination of system-generated data and email conversation context.

When an email is sent or received, the system works to:

- Identify the correct task, project, or conversation
- Store the message as part of the activity history
- Maintain the continuity of ongoing email threads

This ensures that communication remains organized and tied to the work it relates to.

## **Key Concepts**

Understanding a few key concepts will help you get the most out of email integration:

- **Managed Inbox** Each workspace is configured with a dedicated email address used to send and receive email messages.
- **Email Conversations** Email messages are grouped into conversations and linked to tasks when appropriate.
- **Automatic Matching** Agility Blue attempts to match replies to existing tasks or conversations whenever possible, even when users continue email threads outside the system.

## **Best Practices**

To ensure emails are processed and associated correctly:

- Include the **managed inbox address** when replying to or forwarding messages
- Keep email threads intact when continuing a conversation
- Avoid significantly modifying the original email content when replying

Following these practices helps Agility Blue maintain accurate and reliable email associations.

## **What to Expect**

In most cases, email behavior is automatic and requires no additional steps. However:

- If an email cannot be confidently matched to existing work, a **new task may be created**
- All email activity is still captured and can be reviewed within Agility Blue

This ensures that no communication is lost, even in edge cases.
