Sending Emails

Last updated September 25, 2026

JourneyFuse includes a built-in inbox for sending and receiving emails with clients. You can compose new emails, reply to threads, and keep your client communication organized alongside your trips.

Connecting Your Email

Connect your own mailbox in Settings → Email to send eligible client email from that address. Without a connected mailbox, supported outbound messages use the platform or configured agency sender.

Gmail connects in two steps on one card: sending first, then receiving with one code from Google. Outlook and other IMAP mailboxes send and receive from a single connection. Agency owners and admins choose the shared incoming-mail policy; each advisor connects their own mailbox. See Connecting Your Email.

Client delivery also depends on your Send Mode. Held mail waits in the Outbox; it has not been delivered. See Client email delivery.

Composing a New Email

Click Compose in the Inbox header to open the compose sheet. Fill in:

  • To — the recipient's email address
  • CC — optional carbon copy recipients
  • Subject — the email subject line
  • Body — your message content

You can also compose emails from within a trip's Messages tab, which pre-fills the client's email address and trip context.

Email Templates

When composing, you can select an email template from the dropdown to pre-fill the subject and body with a saved template. Templates support dynamic variables that auto-fill with client and trip information. See Email Merge Tags for the full list of available tags, including cruise-specific tags like {{ship_name}} and {{embarkation_port}}.

If the template has files attached (a policy PDF, a packing list), they are added to the email too and show next to Attach file. Remove one with its × to leave it off this email only; the template keeps it. Choosing a different template swaps its files in, and your own attachments stay put.

Rich Text Editor

The email composer includes a rich text editor with a formatting toolbar:

ToolWhat it does
BoldBold selected text
ItalicItalicize selected text
StrikethroughStrike through selected text
Bullet listCreate an unordered list
Numbered listCreate an ordered list
LinkInsert or edit a hyperlink
ImageUpload and insert an image

Adding Images

Click the image icon in the toolbar to open the image upload modal. You can upload an image from your computer, and it will be embedded directly in the email body.

Inbox Layout

The inbox is split into two panels:

  • Left panel — a searchable, filterable list of email threads
  • Right panel — the selected thread's full message history

Filtering Threads

Use the tabs at the top of the thread list to filter by type:

TabShows
AllEvery thread
EmailEmail conversations
PortalMessages from the client portal
TeamInternal team messages (team workspaces only)

You can also search threads by keyword using the search bar, and filter by agent in team workspaces.

Thread History

When you select a thread, the right panel shows the full conversation history in chronological order. Each message displays the sender, timestamp, and formatted content. You can reply directly from the bottom of the thread.

Email Signatures

Your email signature is automatically appended to outgoing emails. You can set a personal signature on your Profile page and an agency-wide signature in your workspace settings.
