Email & shared inbox

Email that stays with the tender.

Write to any contact without leaving TenderLock. Connect your own Microsoft 365 or Google mailbox so emails go from your address, and replies come straight back onto the contact, company and tender.

Questions

About Email & shared inbox

Do I have to connect my mailbox?

No. Without it, emails send from TenderLock and replies still come back into your inbox.

Does TenderLock read my whole inbox?

No. It only keeps emails you send from TenderLock and the replies to them.

Can emails come from our own domain?

Yes. On Enterprise, the whole organisation can send from your own verified domain.
