#### Configuring Email Services in Gymini
To set up your email services:
1. Navigate to the desired location.
2. Click on **Settings -> Email Services**.
#### Forwarding Address
When a lead responds to an email, the response will always appear in the **Conversations** tab. If you wish to receive a copy of the lead’s email response to a specific email address:
1. Enter the desired email address in the **Forwarding Address** section.
**Note:**
* Multiple forwarding email addresses can be entered, separated by commas (e.g., , ).
* Forwarding and BCC functionalities are supported only on Mailgun and LC email. Other SMTP providers are not supported.
#### Reply Address
Gymini offers the option to add a **Reply-to** address. With this configuration:
1. All incoming emails will be directed to the specified email address instead of the **Conversations** tab.
2. If you reply to the lead's email outside of Gymini, the reply won't sync back to the CRM.
To set this up:
1. Go to **Settings > Email Services > Reply & Forward Settings > Reply Address**.
2. Enter the desired reply address and click **Save**.
#### BCC Emails
To receive a Blind Carbon Copy (BCC) of every email sent from a specific location:
1. Navigate to **Settings > Email Services > Reply & Forward Settings > BCC Emails**.
#### Forward to Assigned User
With this feature:
1. The assigned user of a lead will receive email replies in their inbox.
2. The email will be sent to the address specified for that user under **Settings > My Staff > Edit User > User Info**.
#### Enabling Reply Tracking for Other SMTP Providers
For Mailgun, there's no need to enable reply tracking since it's directly integrated with the receiving route set up in Mailgun. If you mask the sender email (e.g., ), the reply-to address will appear as , which corresponds to the Mailgun subdomain set up for the location in **Agency Settings > Mailgun**. Replies will still be correctly displayed in the sub-account's **Conversation** tab.
**When Reply Tracking is Enabled:**
* The reply-to email address will be the one highlighted in the provided screenshot. This allows Gymini to capture email replies back into the **Conversation** tab. This is a limitation when using SMTP integration.
**Note:** Direct emails or new email threads initiated with the highlighted email won't be captured in the **Conversation** tab. Replies should be made to emails sent from the system.
**When Reply Tracking is Disabled:**
* The reply-to email address will be the one highlighted in the provided screenshot. Email replies won't be captured in the **Conversation** tab but will go to the configured sender email inbox.
