Link email to notes/activities
We already have the option to link accounts, contacts, and notes to activities. It would be nice to be able to link client email's to a note or activity to link information/completion of tasks.

Customize Email viewing permissions
would like to have some controls over what emails employees can view within the CRM. Example: we want employees to see all emails within a client record, however, would like to restrict the viewing of emails within employee records. We do not want employees viewing emails from the principal of the firm or the compliance officer.
I know I can delete the emails from the CRM so that no emails appear in the history, however, an employee could simply type it back in to view emails.491 votesThe suggestion may be planned, but there is no timeline on this feature being added.

email reporting
Currently, when an email report is exported into a CSV, the report only shows the "Subject", "Attachment", "To", "From", and "Message Date" fields. It would be SUPER SUPER HELPFUL for compliance personnel if the body of the email could be exported into this CSV report as well. That way, we could use the search feature in Excel to do keyword searches in archived emails, and we would have a report that we could save to prove that the searches were done.

email history default to note: email received or email sent
For any email history to also appear as default as a chronological note as either email received or email sent. A huge portion of our client correspondence is via email. As it stands we either have to copy/paste emails into notes (which defeats the purpose of having emails journal archive) or review both notes and email history to understand the correspondence history of a client, which is redundant. The system as it sits today is both unnecessarily time consuming and encourages mistakes and misses.

Add ability to search email *content,* not just subject lines
Redtail archives all of our firm's email communications with clients, but it does not make that information searchable (beyond the Subject line, which is not very useful). While I can search my own emails within my email client, I cannot effectively search for other users' communications.
EXAMPLE: If I need to know if Client A was sent document Z by anyone in our firm, I'd have to ask each user to search their own email client and/or manually review every single email archived in Redtail.
Redtail should also make the message content (including attachments... or at least attachment file names)…

HTML Email Tracking
Users would like the ability to track whether emails were opened or how often they are opened through HTML tracking.
Similar to the reports you can get when using constant contact about who has opened an email.

Outlook 365 Integration
Create Outlook 365 plugin or integration where I can assign tasks, etc directly from email. For example, a client emails me a action item/task, I can press a button in outlook 365 and turn it into a task associated with that client and assign it to support staff. Wealth Box does this!!!

There should be a way to insert an image into an email without having to save it as a URL first

activity from email, email from activity
Users need to be able to easily create an activity from a client/vendor email.
Typical day - we will receive dozens of emails with requests for appointments, meetings, cash, service, change forms, along with many other requests.
Why not make it easier to click two or three buttons to create an activity from an email, add a quick note and assign to a staff member with deadline and priority.
Also - while on the subject, make it easier to create an email from an activity too.

BCC email archive for client email history
Redtail should capture emails sent 'BCC' from Outlook in the client email history. Currently, it only captures for the archive if it is sent in the 'To' box. But to protect client emails we use the BCC feature. We have migrated to sending blast emails this way because of the lack of functionality in the Broadcast Emails.

Schedule or Send Email Later Option
When we are working with email templates I would like see to the option to schedule when the email is sent. You can only send it immediately. A send later option would be good if we are working on an evening, weekend or would prefer if a client receives the email at a certain time.

Create activity from an email
Can you give us a little box at the bottom of the email window that would allow us to create an activity automatically from the email we're sending?

Link Emails to various contacts
I need the ability to link an outgoing email to multiple contacts and/or opportunities and accounts. I am often emailing an insurance company regarding a client's policy (account). The email doesn't connect to the client because the email is not being sent to them, but it may involve that contact, account or opportunity and need to be recorded in those places.

Create functionality so that an email received by another contact in the database could be linked to a different contact.
Create a way to link an email from one contact in the database to another. I.e. I have an insurance specialist who sends quotes and emails about my clients. I want to be able to link HIS email to THEIR record for easy reference.

Attaching an email to a client record (without the client email address included)
The ability to attach an email to a client record (for which the client is not part of the thread) would be extremely helpful, instead of copying and pasting into notes.

Allow an image to be pasted into an email directly
At this time graphs/charts in an email have to be presented as a URL or an attachment. Would be nice to be able to clip and paste the graphic directly into the email body.

Have the ability to attach an email to another contact besides the contact that the email is sent to.
If I send an email to a company in reference to a client, the email is archived under the company. I need the ability to manually attach the email to the client also, so that the email will show up under the client. What I have to do now is create an activity, link it to both the company and the client, and copy the email to the activity - so it will show up in the notes of both the company and the client.

Add additional fonts in broadcast emails
We would like to have a larger selection of fonts available for broadcast emails. A "signature" style font would be very helpful

Save all emails as notes
Currently, we can manually choose to save the emails we send through the CRM or set up the templates to automatically check the box to save. Can we look at adding a preference where every single email we send through the CRM automatically has the "Save As Note" box checked? Thanks!

EMAIL archive needs to be in real time to serve sales team not just service team
the email history needs to be in real time rather than 24 hour delay.... a delay like this is fine if you have already earned the account, just coasting, where my customer service person or myself might be leisurely floating though the accounts seeing who we can bless today but in a firefight, with another firm, trying to earn the account, the sales team needs to know closer to real time what was said and by who in email. Notes are in real time and no one questions why thats important so seriously, lets get this email archive current so…
