Email sync, sending and updates to our plans
We've been working on this for a long time and it's been, by far, the most requested feature. It was also was part of the original vision when I started Wobaka in 2019 so I'm really excited that email syncing and sending is now available. Keep reading for more details.
If you have any questions or feedback about these changes, don't hesitate to contact me directly on [email protected].
🔀 Email sync
It's now possible to sync your email in Wobaka. After enabling email sync, all your emails to/from Wobaka contacts will be automagically saved. The bcc / forwarding mailbox is also available if you prefer that.
We made the decision to only sync emails on existing contacts, so none of your personal emails will be saved. Syncing starts from the time you activate it and only affects emails after that. We are also going to add the possibility to fetch historical emails for new contacts and contacts that existed before you activated the sync.
The Logbook tracks every action, including emails. So it's a great way to check for newly synced emails directly in Wobaka.
We currently support email accounts from Gmail, Microsoft and all IMAP/SMTP compatible providers. You can setup email sync on the Email settings page.
✨ Email sending
You can now send and reply to emails directly in the contact feed. It feels magical to click on a follow up task, go to the contact and compose a new email. We are also going to add the possibility to use templates here, which I think will make it a really powerful way to manage your email.
We will keep improving and adding more functionality to both email syncing and email sending.
🏷️ New plans
We haven't raised our prices since switching to user based pricing in 2022. The email sync brings additional cost for computing and networking, as well as additional support and audits for API access. This means that we need to change our prices.
We still want to make Wobaka accessible at the $19 price point so we decided to add additional plans instead of a general price increase.
If you are a customer today, you can choose to keep your current plan, with your current price for as long as you'd like. If you want to enable email sync, you can upgrade to the Pro+ or Business plan.
Support wise, everything is the same. Regardless of plan, you can still email me anytime and I will personally help you out. As always.
🔮 What's next
We're currently working on additional functionality for the email integration. Like syncing historical emails on new contacts, email templates in contact feed, etc.
We are also looking into some improvements on the core contact system and adding MCP support for Wobaka so you can easily access and modify your CRM data with your AI of choice.
