Your Employees Email You When You're Away
New Feature · 2026-04-28
Details
When an employee has something to share, ask, or escalate they ring the in-app bell instantly, every update, no throttle. If you don't see it within 30 minutes, the same message lands in your email, formatted as a personal note from that employee, with a one-click link back to the chat. Open the chat in time and the email never fires. A 6h gap per employee plus tight global caps (2/hour, 4/day across all email types) keep your inbox quiet even with chatty employees.
