Zoho Mail
#210 most-usedSend, organise, and act on email without touching the inbox
Zoho Mail is a business email platform built for teams that want clean inboxes, structured collaboration, and full control over their email workflow. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can send and draft emails from any account alias, create folders and tags to organise correspondence automatically, watch for inbound emails matching any search condition, and create tasks from action-required threads — all without manual inbox management.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate manual inbox triage, folder creation, tag application, draft writing, and task creation that teams repeat for every email across sales, support, HR, finance, and legal.
What your Zoho Mail agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Zoho Mail × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Support ticket acknowledged and tagged within a minute
When a new email lands in the support inbox, the agent checks whether a matching category tag exists, creates one if not, and prepares a draft acknowledgement for the support agent to review and send. A summary is posted to the #support Slack channel so the team knows a new ticket has arrived — all without a human manually triaging the inbox.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
