How to Import Emails and Build Conversation History

Every team has valuable context buried in past emails decisions, feedback, and insights that shaped ongoing projects. But once work shifts to new tools, that context often gets left behind.

Clariti solves this by allowing you to import historical emails directly into Hybrid Conversations. It bridges old email archives with ongoing discussions, giving teams a complete story. Past and present in one place.

Tutorial Overview

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

  • Access the mail import function inside a conversation.
  • Select and import emails from connected sources (e.g., Gmail, Outlook, Microsoft 365).
  • Add older emails into active discussions for full context.
  • Build a unified communication history your entire team can reference.

How-To: Access the Import Function

To begin importing emails, start inside an existing conversation.

Steps:

  • Go to the relevant conversation (e.g., Marketing Discussions).
  • Click the More button at the bottom of the conversation timeline.
  • Select Mail Apps from the dropdown menu.
  • In the modal window titled “Add mails from any source,” proceed to choose your email provider.

Tips: Keep the import action tied to the right conversation. It ensures that historical context stays connected to the topic no more detached mail threads or missing references.

How-To: Select and Import Emails

Once the import window opens, you’ll see your connected email accounts.

Steps:

  • Choose your mail source (e.g., Google, Microsoft 365, Outlook, or Company Mail).
  • Review the list of emails displayed. Clariti shows only those not already part of this conversation.
  • Select one or more emails by checking the boxes beside them.
  • Click Add To Conversation.

Tips: Batch-select older emails that provide backstory or context. This makes onboarding new members easier and ensures no part of your communication history gets lost.

How-To: Build and Review Conversation History

After importing, Clariti integrates your selected emails directly into the ongoing discussion.

Steps:

  • Return to the conversation timeline (e.g., Marketing Discussions).
  • Scroll to view the newly added emails, arranged chronologically with other chats and files.
  • Review them like any other message search, reference, or comment as needed.

Tips: Having past decisions and updates side-by-side with new ones helps your team see the “why” behind ongoing actions no more digging through inboxes to piece together history.
