Add and use shared inboxes
Overview
A shared inbox is a centralized hub for organizing and managing various conversations, and it provides the flexibility to categorize and sort discussions effectively. A shared inbox can include different channels like email, Whatsapp, or SMS, allowing messages from these sources to flow into one place.

FAQ
Can I add this inbox to my teammates' sidebars?
When you create a new shared inbox with restricted access, the inbox will be added to the sidebars of all selected teammates.
You can locate this configuration within the Settings subsection of the inbox settings. In that section, you have the option to choose individual teammates or use the "Select all" feature to include the inbox in the sidebars of all teammates.
This option is only available when first creating an inbox. For existing shared inboxes, you will not be able to add the inbox to other teammates' sidebars.
