What is the Inbox?

The Inbox is a task-oriented message board for your project. It displays messages that require your attention — such as action items, system notifications, or tasks assigned by your team’s admin. Each message can be assigned to a team member, tracked by status, and discussed in a threaded conversation.

Accessing the Inbox

Navigate to DashboardInbox tab. The inbox shows all non-dismissed messages for the current project, sorted newest first.

Message Cards

Each message in the inbox appears as a card showing:
ElementDescription
Status badgeCurrent status: open or closed
TitleThe message subject
DescriptionA preview of the message content (truncated to ~130 characters)
Assigned toDropdown to assign or reassign the message to a project member
Created dateWhen the message was created
Due dateOptional deadline (shown when set)
Closed dateWhen the message was closed (shown when applicable)
LinkOptional link to a related page in the project (e.g., a contract or statement)

Actions

Assign

Use the Assigned to dropdown on any message card to assign it to a project member. This helps distribute work across the team.

Dismiss

Click the three-dot menu () on a message card and select Dismiss to remove it from the inbox. A confirmation dialog will appear. Dismissed messages are hidden from the inbox but not permanently deleted.

View Full Message

Click View to open the full message thread, where you can read the complete message, see all replies, and respond.

Message Thread

Opening a message takes you to the full thread view with:
  • Full message content with rich text formatting
  • Replies listed in chronological order
  • Reply form with a rich text editor to respond
  • Attachments on both the original message and replies
  • Sidebar showing status, creator, assignee, and participants

Replying

Type your response in the reply editor at the bottom of the thread. The editor supports rich text formatting and file attachments.

Closing and Reopening

Project owners and the message creator can close a message when the task is resolved. Closed messages can be reopened if needed.

How Messages Are Created

Messages in the inbox are created in two ways:
  • By your admin — team admins can create messages with a title, description, assignee, due date, and optional link to a project page
  • Automatically — the system creates messages for certain events, such as welcome tasks when a new project is set up (e.g., “Upload your contracts”, “Upload your statements”)
There is no compose button in the inbox itself. Messages are created through the admin interface or generated automatically by the system.

Notifications

When a new message is created and assigned, the project owner receives a notification. Project-level notifications can be toggled on or off in Project Settings.
