Send Emails from Tidio

At Tidio, you can send & answer emails directly from the Tidio panel. This feature is especially useful for following up with visitors who have left your website and can no longer access chat messages. By leveraging the email channel in Tidio, you can continue the conversation seamlessly and provide valuable information to your visitors.

 

In this article, you'll learn:

• How to find the Email channel
• How to create & send emails
• What are the available options inside the email creator
• Why do I need the physical address for sending emails

 

Email Channel

 

You will see the email channel inside the conversations in the Inbox section of your Tidio admin panel. 

 

When a visitor has left your website, and you notice a red dot next to the chat channel, it indicates that the best way to continue the conversation is through the email channel.

 

 

However, this option is only available if the visitor has provided an email address. To ensure you have the necessary information, we recommend enabling the Pre-Chat Survey feature, which automatically collects visitor details before they initiate a chat.

 

To answer the visitor via the email channel when you're inside the conversation - click on the Email tab above the typing window. 

 

 

Create & Send Emails

 

To compose and send an email from the Tidio panel:

1. Click on the email channel, which will open the email composing field.
2. Start working on your email by filling in the subject and content sections.
3. Take advantage of additional features provided by the email editor, which we'll explain below.

 

 

When your message is ready, click on the blue Send button to send the message to your visitor. 

 

 

From the Inbox section, you can also create a completely new ticket (email).

 

To create a completely new email (ticket), you'll need to click on the + icon next to the Tickets section on the left-side menu.
