Email

Email is one of Macro’s core Blocks, which is why we recommend linking your account at signup. Connect Gmail or Outlook / Microsoft 365. In Macro you can triage your email normally while also using our Signal/Noise filtering and an agent to draft and send emails.

Use j and k to move up and down through your emails. To archive an email and remove it from your inbox, press e.

​

Multi-account inbox

Macro supports multiple email accounts in a single inbox. Instead of switching between a work tab and a personal tab, all of your accounts flow into one list that you triage in one pass, with the same keyboard shortcuts and Signal/Noise filtering applied across all of them. To connect another account, open Settings → Email, click Add account, and choose Gmail or Outlook / Microsoft 365. When you draft an email, you choose which connected address it sends from.

​

Signal vs Noise

Macro splits email into Signal and Noise tabs. Signal is where your high-priority emails go, like team member updates and customer feedback. Noise is for emails that aren’t crucial to your workflow, such as newsletters and promotions. To move a sender, right-click a thread and choose Sender → Signal or Sender → Noise. The same menu has Block Sender. The email sidebar also has Favorites, Sent, Scheduled, Drafts, Shared, Archived, and All.

​

Sharing

You can forward, cc, and bcc people as normal using Macro’s email client, or share an email thread inside the app using the share button. Share into a channel when you want people to read the thread and talk about it in Macro. They are not added to the email, so the original thread stays as it is and that discussion never goes out as a reply. A forward sends a copy they can reply to, which takes the conversation back out over email. When you share an email into a new or existing channel, the participants receive a notification in the left-hand panel. Recipients of a shared email can view the entire thread but can’t reply to it. To let someone reply, forward them the email in Macro’s email client.

​

Mentioning

There are several ways to share in an email.

• If you @mention someone in an email, they get added as a recipient.
• If you @mention a document in an email, it gets inserted as a URL link to Macro. The document’s permissions also get updated so that anyone with the link can view it.
• If you @mention a booking link in an email, it gets inserted as a link to that booking page.

Reading pane

Show reading pane opens the selected thread beside the list, so the inbox stays on screen while you read. Hide reading pane returns to the list. This view is on desktop.
