Linked emails

This widget is used to display emails from an inbox connected to BRIX directly on app pages.

The widget shows emails that the users have linked to an app item. To make such linking available, the app has to be added to the list of available apps in the Administration workspace. For more information, see Link an app item with an email.

Add the widget

To add the widget to a form, switch to the advanced mode and open the interface designer. Drag the widget from the right panel to the modeling canvas. Alternatively, you can click the +Widget button on the sidebar of the form you’re configuring. The settings window will open.

Main tab

Specify main settings:

  • App item*. The field is automatically filled out based on the app that you are currently working with.
  • Hide the messages of linked contacts. By default, the widget displays:
  1. Emails linked with the current app item.
  2. Emails linked manually or automatically to a contact page, if one is specified in the current app item's field.
     
    Enable the option to have the widget display only emails related to the current item.
     
    For example, by default, a deal page shows emails linked with it, as well as correspondence with the contact specified in the deal, even if the user manually linked that correspondence only to the contact.
     
    With the option enabled, only emails directly linked with the deal are shown. Other emails from the contact will not be visible in the widget on the deal page, even if automatic email linking by contact is enabled for the company.

Events and System tabs

These tabs contain system settings similar for all widgets. They allow you to set the widget’s visibility and access permissions, configure the widget’s behavior when the user hovers over it, etc. Read more about these settings in the System widget settings article.

When you finish configuring the widget, click Save. If you’re adding the widget to the sidebar, a new settings window will open, and you will have to specify the title of the panel the widget will be displayed in.

To make the form available to users, click Save and Publish on the interface designer toolbar.
