Introducing Smart Follow-ups

Staying on top of important conversations just got a whole lot easier!
Mailbutler automatically analyzes your tracked emails — focusing on opens, clicks, and engagement patterns — to help you identify messages that may need to be followed up on.
Follow-up suggestions directly in your sidebar
Mailbutler derives follow‑up states for your tracked emails and categorizes them as high, medium, or low urgency so you know exactly what to prioritize next.
You can access all of your follow‑up suggestions directly in the Email Tracking widget in the Home tab of the sidebar.
Everything is neatly organized in one place, ready when you are.

AI-powered follow-up drafts
When it’s time to take action, our AI-powered Smart Assistant can draft a personalized follow‑up email for you — thoughtful, relevant, and ready to send.
AI-powered follow-up drafts
Full control over your follow-ups
You’re always in charge.
  • Manually dismiss any follow‑up suggestion
  • Manually mark tracked emails as needing a follow‑up
This lets you fine‑tune what deserves your attention.
Seamless migration of your legacy follow-up tasks
If you used the legacy follow‑up task system, all your existing follow‑up tasks are automatically migrated to the new Smart Follow-ups feature.
We hope Smart Follow‑ups brings clarity and ease to your communication. If you have feedback or need help along the way, feel free to reach out at support@mailbutler.io.

New Composing Live Status Indicator

We’ve expanded our set of live status indicators to give you clearer real‑time visibility into how your collaborators interact with shared contacts. The new composing status appears whenever you view a message from a contact that a collaborator is currently drafting an email to.
Real‑time visibility into active drafting
When a collaborator starts composing an email to a contact you are currently viewing a message from, you’ll see a helpful notice in your sidebar:
New composing live status indicator
This gives you immediate insight into who is actively handling the communication.
Smoother coordination, fewer conflicts
This new indicator builds on our existing collaboration signals and helps you:
  • Prevent overlapping or conflicting replies
  • Coordinate outreach more efficiently
  • Maintain a consistent communication experience with shared contacts
It’s a small but meaningful improvement that helps you and your collaborators stay aligned when messaging the same person.

Improved Signature Editor + New Modern Templates

We’ve given the email signature editor a complete refresh to make creating and customizing your email signatures simpler and more flexible than ever.
Easier signature creation
The revamped editor helps you build signatures more intuitively, with clearer tools and a smoother user experience.
You now have much greater freedom when building your signature, including the option to add multiple website links, use any custom labels you like (a highly requested improvement), and adjust the structure and layout more flexibly.
Improved signature editor
Modern signature templates (replacing legacy templates)
We’ve introduced a new set of modern email signature templates that replace the old legacy versions. These modern templates offer cleaner design and more flexible layout options, giving you a stronger foundation for building polished signatures.
If you’re still using a legacy template, switching to a modern one will allow you to take full advantage of the improved editor and updated formatting options.
Quick tip before editing your existing signatures
To update an existing signature, you’ll first need to upgrade its template to the modern format.
Please keep in mind:
  • Upgrading may
    change the appearance or structure
    of your existing signature
  • These changes
    cannot be undone
    once applied
  • If you’re not sure, we
    strongly recommend making a copy
    of your current signature first
This ensures you can safely revert or compare versions if needed.
We encourage you to give the upgraded editor a try and let us know how it works for you. We’re always happy to hear from you!
We’ve refreshed the “Home” tab to give you a clearer, more helpful overview of your Mailbutler activity. The new layout brings everything you need into one place, making it easier to stay on top of your inbox.
Three solution‑specific widgets
The updated “Home” tab includes three dedicated solution widgets:
  • Email Tracking
    – See your tracked emails grouped by unopened and opened
  • Tailored Sending
    – Get an overview of emails that are in delivery, recently delivered, scheduled, failed, or canceled
  • Inbox Collaboration
    – Access and manage your tasks as well as emails that have been assigned to you and your collaborators
3 solution‑specific widgets
Better organization, faster access
These widgets are designed to keep all relevant information neatly structured in one view. You can access what matters most faster, without switching tabs or digging through menus.
We hope the refreshed “Home” tab gives you a smoother, more focused starting point in your sidebar. If you have any thoughts or suggestions as you try it out, feel free to contact us anytime at support@mailbutler.io.
Writing and organizing your Mailbutler notes just got faster and more intuitive!
You can now format your notes directly from your keyboard—no clicking required. Create cleaner, more structured content while staying fully in your writing flow.
Supported formatting options
Here’s what you can now do, along with the shortcuts:
  • Bold
    — Cmd + B (Mac) / Ctrl + B (Windows)
  • Italic
    — Cmd + I (Mac) / Ctrl + I (Windows)
  • Underline
    — Cmd + U (Mac) / Ctrl + U (Windows)
  • Headlines
    — Cmd + Option + 1/2/3 (Mac) / Ctrl + Alt + 1/2/3 (Windows)
  • Bullet lists
    — Cmd + Shift + 8 (Mac) / Ctrl + Shift + 8 (Windows)
  • Numbered lists
    — Cmd + Shift + 7 (Mac) / Ctrl + Shift + 7 (Windows)
Formatted note
These shortcuts make it easier to structure your thoughts, highlight key information, and keep your notes tidy.
If you have any feedback or run into anything unexpected, feel free to reach out to us anytime at support@mailbutler.io.
We’ve redesigned the “Current” tab to give you a cleaner, more powerful view of everything related to the email you’re currently working with, whether it’s received or sent.
Clearer, more intuitive layout
You now get a streamlined overview with quicker access to your favorite Mailbutler features, including:
  • Email Assignments

Better visibility for tracked emails
If the selected message is tracked, you’ll see all email tracking details right at the top, giving you immediate insight into opens, link clicks, devices, and more.
