Access all your CRM associated email exchanges in one place, right inside your Inbox. All messages are, on entry, automatically linked to the proper contact. If the recipient is unknown, you can add the contact to your database as new or link it to an existing contact, and SpinOffice will pick up all former communication and will add it to the contact’s archive. Your team will become more efficient. Each user will get their inbox with many options as internal forwarding, folder linking, converting to a task, and more.

Type ‘Prospect’ and press Enter or ‘Filter contacts’; All prospects are shown in the left column. TIP: create a separate contact type ‘Hot prospects’ or similar to make a distinction between hot and less concrete prospects. Go to menu item Extra -> Administration -> Contact type to add new contact types. A combination of filters is possible. For instance, the contact type field and the Account Manager field, or a combination of a field and keywords below the contact card. This way, you're able to cross-filter domestic or international keywords and prospects, or products/services field and prospects.

It is a common misconception that email delivery is instantly completed after you hit "Send." Email is designed to be sent from mail server to mail server until it reaches the ultimate destination, with no guarantee on how long it will reside at each intermediary stop. There are a few reasons why an email may be delayed, some of which are a delay by SpinOffice and some on the receiving email client's end. Delays on SpinOffice's end Delays on SpinOffice's end can be due to the following: Slow or overloaded mail servers This overload could be due to volume, combating spam, or other tasks. Reputation-based deferrals (giving us 4xx responses saying "rate limited") These are temporary errors, and our systems will try sending the message again. We continue to attempt to send these messages for up to 24 hours until the message is delivered. If a message is continuously deferred for 24 hours, we will discard it. Mailbox providers and Internet Service Providers have standards regarding how many connections we can have open to them They also have standards for how many messages per connection we can send simultaneously. There are times when volume exceeds these thresholds, which can cause the mail to be queued. Pre-send processing If there is a technical issue with sending the mailing, that can lead to delays. Examples can be a large mailing group or attachments, etc. Compliance campaign approval process All mailings go through an approval process. This ensures that your campaign is within our Terms of Service and meets industry standards. However, even seasoned users may find that their communications must go under a manual review. Delays on the receiving side Delays on the receiving side can be due to the following: Slow or overloaded servers Again, this can be due to too much incoming mail, filtering/spam, or other tasks, or their server may need to be faster to process mail in general. The mailbox may be full Anti-Virus/Spam screening programs Mostly, these programs are quick and usually only delay from a few seconds to a minute. However, this process can take longer, as emails are screened in the order they are received, and the overall file size or attachments can cause delays. The send/receive cycle of the email program, Internet Service Providers, and or Mailbox providers Many providers have timed interval cycles for sending/receiving. The most common cycles are from a few seconds to 15 minutes. Please contact our Support Team if you still need help determining what may be causing a delay.
