I’ve been thinking about a feature that could greatly enhance the functionality and versatility of Monday.com: a dedicated mail platform integrated across all products—not just the CRM.
Currently, the CRM system offers some email-related tools, but imagine if every Monday.com user had access to a centralized inbox and outbox right within their boards. Here’s what I envision:
Unified Inbox and Sent Items:
A fully-fledged email interface where users can view and manage all incoming and outgoing emails directly in Monday.com.
Functionality similar to platforms like Gmail or Outlook, but seamlessly integrated into Monday.com.
Threaded Email Conversations:
Link email threads to specific items, projects, or boards for context and traceability.
Custom Domains and Flexibility:
Allow users to integrate their own email domains while using this platform for professional communication.
Collaboration Within Emails:
Enable team members to collaborate on drafts, comments, or responses within the email interface.
Email Automation Enhancements:
Build automations around the email platform to create items from emails, set reminders for follow-ups, or even escalate unresponsive emails to tasks.
This feature would bring Monday.com closer to being an all-in-one work management platform. Teams across all industries could benefit from having a centralized hub for managing both their workflows and communications.

This is a great idea, and I think Monday.com could take it further by creating a dedicated email platform as a separate product.
Solving a Key Problem in the CRM
Right now, emails sent from the CRM can feel disconnected. It’s hard to track all conversations with a specific contact or get a full view of communication history. With a separate email platform, users could see all incoming and outgoing emails in one place, neatly organized and easy to navigate.
Key Features:
A full email system (incoming, outgoing, drafts, folders) similar to Google or Outlook.
Deep integration with Monday.com: pull data from boards, link emails to items, and use templates tied to workflows.
Additional Benefits:
Team Collaboration on Emails:
Draft, comment on, or collaborate on emails in real-time.
Automation Opportunities:
Create tasks or reminders from email activity across boards—not just CRM.
Email Templates Integrated with Boards:
Use templates pulling board data to save time on repetitive emails.
Improved Workflow Efficiency:
Manage communication and tasks in one place, making Monday.com a true all-in-one solution.
