Email piping: Turn client emails into requests

Email piping turns incoming client emails into requests or tickets in AgencyPro automatically. Clients keep emailing; your team works from one queue with owners, priorities and statuses. Included on the Pro and Plus plans.

Email → request

Email in, request or ticket out

Email piping features

What changes when client email feeds your request queue.

Email In, Work Out

Incoming emails become requests or tickets in AgencyPro automatically. The client keeps writing emails; your team works from a queue with statuses, owners and priorities.

Requests or Tickets

Route real work into requests on your project board, and quick questions or bug reports into tickets, so each lands in the right workflow.

Same Client Record

Work that arrives by email sits alongside requests the client submitted in the portal, so you see everything for that client in one place.

One Conversation per Item

Once an email becomes a request or ticket, the discussion continues on that item instead of across several inbox threads.

Less Copy and Paste

Nobody has to retype an email into your project tool or forward it to a colleague and hope they log it.

Works With Pro Automation

Combine email piping with auto-assign and SLA tracking (also on Pro) so emailed requests get an owner and a turnaround target like any other.

Why email piping saves time

Clients will always email you. Instead of copying their message into your project tool, forward it (or have them email the address directly) and it becomes a trackable, assignable item.

No more copying email content into your project tool
Clients who prefer email can keep using it
Emailed work gets a status, an owner and a priority
Quick questions go to tickets, real work goes to requests

Smart routing

Requests for work, tickets for questions

How it works

From inbox to actionable item in four steps.

1
Turn On Email Piping

Email piping is a Pro and Plus feature. Set it up in your workspace so incoming mail can be converted.

2
Point Your Inbox at AgencyPro

Forward the inbox clients already write to (for example a support or requests address) to AgencyPro.

3
Emails Become Requests or Tickets

Each incoming email is turned into a request or ticket automatically and appears in your team queue.

4
Work It Like Any Other Item

Assign it, set priority, move it through your statuses, and keep the client updated from AgencyPro.

Who uses it

Clients Who Live in Email

Some clients will never log into a portal. Their emails still become requests your team can track and deliver.

Support Inbox

Forward a support@ address so client questions become tickets with priorities and reply templates instead of unread mail.

Forwarded Briefs

When a client sends a brief by email, it becomes a request ready to assign instead of a message someone has to remember.

Shared Inbox Clean-Up

Replace a shared inbox where three people read the same email and nobody owns it with a queue where every item has an assignee.

Frequently asked questions

What does email piping do?

It converts incoming emails into requests or tickets in AgencyPro automatically, so work that clients send by email enters the same queue as work submitted through the portal.

Should emails become requests or tickets?

Use requests for deliverables that need planning, assignment and tracking, and tickets for quick questions, access issues and bug reports. Many agencies pipe a requests inbox and a separate support inbox.

Do clients have to change how they work?

No. Clients keep emailing the address they already use. You can still invite them to the client portal to follow progress, but email piping does not require it.

Which plans include email piping?

Email piping is on Pro ($79/mo), Plus ($149/mo) and Enterprise. Each plan includes one seat; extra seats are $20/mo on Pro and $30/mo on Plus.
