Module 06 / Inbox

An inbox you finish.

Live Part of Atlas

Inbox collects what needs you inside Atlas: mentions, assignments, comments, and due-date alerts, grouped by task, project, or person. Snooze, mute, or mark done in a click, and reply or draft with AI right from the row. It is the notification inbox for your work, not a replacement for your email client.

What it does

Five things, in priority order.

Work tools send a steady stream of mentions, assignments, and reminders. Inbox puts the ones from your Atlas work in one list, grouped so you can clear it.

Five capabilities, in order of value

  1. Everything that needs youMentions, assignments, comments, and due-date alerts from across Atlas. One list, one unread count.
  2. Grouped threadsNotifications are grouped by task, project, or person, so ten comments on one task read as one thread.
  3. Snooze, mute, mark doneSnooze to a preset such as tomorrow or next week, mute noisy threads, and mark one row or many done.
  4. AI draft and reply from the rowReply to a comment, or start from an AI draft, without opening the task or project. You review every draft before it goes.
  5. Your preferencesChoose which notifications you get and how they reach you, and read a daily digest of what changed.

How it works

Three steps, one list.

Inbox does not ask you to write filter rules. Notifications come from the work itself, and you decide what happens next.

Collect from across Atlas

Mentions, assignments, comments, and due-date alerts from tasks, projects, docs, and CRM land in one inbox, grouped by task, project, or person.

Filter and open in context

Filter to unread, watch the unread count fall, and open any row in context. Due-date warnings show up before the work is late.

Reply, snooze, or mark done

Send a reply, edit an AI draft first, snooze the thread, or mark it done. AI drafts are suggestions you review before anything is sent.

Key features

Nine things, all built in.

Each item below is part of Inbox today.

Snooze presets

Snooze to a preset such as later today, tomorrow, or next week. The row comes back when it wakes.

Grouped threads

Rows group by task, project, or person, so a busy record reads as one conversation instead of ten.

Bulk actions

Mark many rows done at once, mark everything read, or archive every notification you have read.

Mute

Mute a noisy thread so it stops pulling your attention, without leaving the task or project.

Unread filter

Show only unread, see the unread count, and page back through history when you need an older alert.

Daily digest

A daily digest sums up what changed, so a day away does not end with a wall of alerts.

Encrypted

TLS 1.3 in transit and encryption at rest. Customer content is not used to train models.

Preferences

Each person chooses which kinds of notifications they get and how those notifications reach them.

Archive and restore

Archive a notification to clear it from the live inbox, and unarchive it if you need it back later.

Connected

Threads know the work.

Inbox does not live in isolation. Every notification links back to the task, project, deal, or contract it came from.

Six modules feed one inbox

A mention on a CRM deal, a task assigned to you, a status change on a contract, a meeting action item, a mention in a doc, new intake from a form: each lands in Inbox with a link back to the record.

CRM → deal mentionsTasks → assignmentsContracts → status changesMeetings → action itemsDocs → mentionsForms → new intake
API

Programmatic inbox.

Read your notification inbox and mark items read with the REST API and a personal access token. Python shown.

inbox.py
# List unread notifications, then mark them all read.
# Requires the inbox:read and inbox:write scopes.
import os, requests

API = "https://api-atlas.wrxstack.com/v1"
headers = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['ATLAS_TOKEN']}"}  # atlas_pat_...

inbox = requests.get(f"{API}/inbox", headers=headers,
                     params={"unreadOnly": "true"}).json()
print(inbox["unread"], "unread")

requests.post(f"{API}/inbox/read-all", headers=headers)
Comparison

Inbox vs. notification email.

Most work tools notify you by email. Inbox keeps those alerts inside the workspace, next to the work they point to.

FAQ

Common questions.

Six things people ask in the first hour of trying Inbox.

Is Inbox an email client?

No. Inbox is the notification inbox for your Atlas work: mentions, assignments, comments, and due-date alerts. Your email stays in your mail client. Gmail can sync two-way with CRM, so customer email shows on the deal timeline.

Where does AI drafting run, and does it train on my content?

Ask Atlas runs on Atlas servers, and you can bring your own model and keys. Customer content is not used to train models. Drafts are suggestions you review before sending.

What if something important gets buried?

Filter to unread, mute the threads that are noisy, and set your notification preferences so the alerts that matter reach you. Due-date warnings show up before a task is late.

Can a team share one inbox?

Each person has their own inbox for what is addressed to them. For a shared support mailbox with queues and SLAs, use a helpdesk. Zendesk and Intercom connectors are in development and cannot be connected yet.

Can I get notifications outside Atlas?

Yes. Notification preferences control which alerts you get and how they reach you, including email, and a daily digest sums up the rest.

What about calendar invites and scheduling?

Scheduling lives in Calendar and Meetings, with two-way Google Calendar sync, meeting templates, and booking pages. Meetings and Booking are on paid plans.

Inbox is most useful when Tasks, CRM, and Meetings are live and sending it work.

Honest limits

Who this is not for.

Inbox clears the notifications from your Atlas work. It is not an email client or a helpdesk. If your team runs a support desk that lives on SLA timers, CSAT surveys, macros, and tiered queues, a dedicated helpdesk will serve you better.
