Every customer message gets an owner.

Mailslot is a shared inbox for support teams of 3 to 30. Email, chat and contact forms land in one queue, and each message gets an owner and a reply-by time the moment it arrives.

Rules pick the owner

Write a rule once and Mailslot applies it the second a message arrives. These five come set up in every new inbox, and the Team plan has no limit on how many you add.

“We used to forward emails to each other with ‘yours?’ in the subject line. Now a cracked-lid email goes straight to whoever has replacements that day. The mobile app is still basic, so we don’t answer from our phones much.”
