Client email, sent from the case

Send a client update from inside the matter you are working in, so the email stays attached to the case instead of disappearing into a personal inbox.

The next person to open the case sees what was already sent, so nobody rebuilds the thread before writing the next message.

Email clients without leaving the case

Send a client update while you are already looking at the matter. You write the message in the context of the file, so it stays attached to the case instead of becoming a disconnected inbox task.

Tied to the matter that caused it

Staff use case email to invite a client into the portal or follow up on an open request. Because the message starts from the case, it is already connected to the work that prompted it, which makes follow-up, handover, and review easier later.

A normal email for the client, a connected record for you

Clients receive a normal, professional email. The difference is on your side. The practice keeps the message linked to the matter, which is exactly what you want when the email refers to a document request, a milestone, or a portal action. Case email covers sending these updates from the file; two-way inbox sync and automatic classification are separate features.

Questions

Does this replace our practice inbox?

No. Case email keeps client updates tied to the matter while your team still uses its normal inbox for general email. It covers sending updates from the file, and two-way inbox sync and automatic classification are separate features.

What does the client receive, a Matter message or a normal email?

A normal, professional email. The difference is on your side, where the message stays linked to the matter, so follow-up, handover, and review are easier later.
