NOTE: Just a heads-up: Emails can only be sent from your Gloo account. If someone replies, their response wonât go back to your Gloo inbox, but will to whatever email address you specify as your "Reply-To" email.
Status Tabs đ¨
Use the status tabs to keep track of your emails! Youâll see three tabs: Sent, Scheduled, and Drafts â each one helps you easily see where your messages are in the process.
