What was wasting time
Lead replies were easy to miss inside another email tool. The team wanted to answer from a phone without losing the original email thread.
What changed
I built a service that sends new replies to Telegram and sends the answer back in the same email thread.
Result
The team can answer leads faster from a phone while keeping the email conversation clean.
How it works
- Catch a new lead reply.
- Send it to Telegram.
- Store the pending response.
- Match the phone reply to the right email thread.
- Remind or expire old replies.
