Frequently asked questions

How does Inbox Zero sort my emails?Inbox Zero uses a machine learning algorithm trained on tens of thousands of emails—making it more accurate than any simple keyword search. Your supporters each have a unique voice, but many of them also have unique auto-replies. Because of our unique training process, Inbox Zero can recognize the difference between “I’m out of the office this week” and “Get those bums out of office!” Your use of Inbox Zero provides additional training specific to your email list so that the more you use it, the more accurate it becomes.

What happens if Inbox Zero isn’t sure how to sort a particular email?Inbox Zero’s unique algorithm assigns a confidence score to every message. This score correlates with certainty, so an email that’s rated with an “A” is almost certainly in the right place, whereas emails with a certainty score of “C” or below are separated for you to check. Inbox Zero will learn from those assignments, so the number of uncertain emails will decrease over time.

Are my emails secure with Inbox Zero?Yes. We use the same authentication Google does.

Which Email CRMs is Inbox Zero compatible with?Most of what Inbox Zero does is based on simple API commands, so we can sync it with any CRM with an open API. So far, we have deployed it on Action Network, EveryAction, and Action Kit.

Do I need my reply address to be a Gmail account?Yes.

Will Inbox Zero eliminate jobs?No. Inbox Zero makes email program managers more productive and a lot less bored, but it does not replace the personal touch that only a person can offer.
