Email

Forward your support address to Sellio so email lands in the inbox beside chat, and replies go back from your own address.

What it does

Sellio gives each email channel a forwarding address. Mail forwarded there becomes a conversation; replies are sent as email, threaded under the original message. Authenticating your domain lets replies leave from your own address rather than Sellio's.

Before you start

  • The support address customers already write to, such as support@yourcompany.com.
  • Access to that mailbox's forwarding settings (Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365) or to your DNS, to add records.

Connect it

  1. 1
    In Sellio, open Settings, then Integrations, and choose Email.
  2. 2
    Enter the support address customers use and save. Sellio shows a forwarding address for this channel; copy it.
  3. 3
    In your mail provider, forward the support address to that Sellio address. In Gmail: Settings, Forwarding and POP/IMAP, Add a forwarding address; in Microsoft 365: the mailbox's Forwarding setting, or a mail flow rule.
  4. 4
    Send a test email to your support address. The first forwarded message verifies the channel; the channel card changes to Forwarding verified.
  5. 5
    Optional, recommended: click Authenticate domain, add the DNS records Sellio lists at your DNS host, then Verify domain. Replies now send from your support address.
ℹ
Gmail asks the forwarding address to confirm before it forwards anything. The confirmation email lands in your Sellio inbox as a conversation; open it and use the link.

Once connected

  • Each email thread is one conversation, matched by the message's threading headers, so a customer's reply lands in the same conversation.
  • Until the domain is authenticated, replies send from the channel's Sellio address with your name; after it, from your support address.
  • Attachments in both directions arrive as files on the conversation.
  • The AI agent and customer-message automations do not run on email; they work on website chat only.

Connected channels count against the plan’s channel limit (one on Free, three on Mini, five on Essentials, twenty-five on Plus); see Plans and billing. Disconnecting a channel keeps its past conversations in the inbox.
