How do customer service teams manage shared mailboxes?

Busy weeks bury whoever opens the inbox first, customers get different answers, and unanswered email turns into calls and bad reviews. Emailgistics balances every email across agents, alerts leads when a target is missed and reports on reply times. AI summarizes long threads and drafts replies from your knowledge base, all inside Outlook.

  1. A refund email tagged Refunds and assigned to Chris D.

    Assign

    Every support email gets one owner on arrival

  2. A thread with Tom H.: a refund email replied to by Chris D., and today’s reply sent back to Chris, the previous owner

    Replies

    Customer replies go back to the same agent

  3. An AI summary of a 12-message refund thread: jacket returned, refund received, now asking about an exchange

    AI summaries catch you up on long threads

Keep the queue moving at any volume

When volume spikes, the work should spread evenly, not land on whoever is fastest. Emailgistics assigns every new email as it arrives:

  • Every new email assigned the moment it arrives
  • Max Messages limits so no agent is buried
  • Agents who are away or off shift are skipped
A damaged-delivery email open in Outlook beside the Emailgistics pane, assigned to Ash B., and the next new email going to Ash because Chris D. is at the Max Messages limit and Kelly W. is unavailable

Answer the same question the same way

Refunds, returns and account questions repeat all day. Shared templates keep every answer consistent, even across countries:

  • Find and insert an approved reply in Outlook
  • Edit a template once and every agent has it
  • Personalize each reply before it goes out
Shared templates for refunds, return labels, exchanges and damaged items, with a confirmation that an update reached every agent

Know before a customer has to chase you

An email nobody answers becomes a phone call or a bad review. Message alerts tell managers first:

  • Set how long an email can wait unanswered
  • Alert the team leads who can step in
  • Repeat the alert on a schedule you choose
A message alert for support@ email unanswered for more than 2 hours, sent to two team leads and repeated every hour, and the alert email for a damaged-delivery request

Emailgistics vs. a shared mailbox alone or a help desk

A shared mailbox alone has no owners or targets. A help desk has both, but moves your team into a new app. Emailgistics adds them inside Outlook.

Most support teams answer customers from support@ or help@ shared mailboxes. Emailgistics gives every email one owner, balances the queue, shares approved templates and alerts leads when an email waits too long, without leaving Outlook.

Explore the product

Host and Stay went from response times over 48 hours to about 2. Specsavers handles 100 to over 800 emails a day across two countries. School Outfitters closes 99% of emails within SLA.

See all case studies

Every email is assigned to exactly one owner, so there is nothing for two agents to collide on. Reassign it and ownership moves with it.

See team email management

Yes. Set reply and close targets for each mailbox, and tighter ones for urgent tags with SLAs by tag. Managers get an email alert when a message passes its target.

See SLA monitoring

Very little. Emailgistics works inside Outlook. At Specsavers, agents needed little if any training, and at School Outfitters most users didn’t realize it was a new tool.

Read the Specsavers story

Not for email. A help desk moves your team into a separate app and turns email into tickets. Emailgistics adds assignment, templates and SLAs inside Outlook.

Compare with Zendesk

Yes. Emailgistics is SOC 2 Type II certified and HIPAA and GDPR compliant. It works on the shared mailboxes in your Microsoft 365 tenant, so email stays in Exchange Online, and access is limited to the mailboxes you onboard.
