For teams whose clients email, message and chat

No client message left unanswered.

Replyguard watches your client email, Slack and WhatsApp for messages nobody on your team has answered, and escalates them to the right person before the client has to chase.

Watching for a reply
A client email goes unanswered. After one hour the account manager is notified, after three hours the head of delivery, after five hours the managing director, who is reminded every five minutes. When someone replies to the client, the escalation closes automatically.

The escalation queue

Every waiting client, in one place

See who is waiting, for how long, on which channel, and who has been told. Sorted by how far each one has climbed.

Escalation rules

Rules that follow how your team really works

You decide who hears about a waiting client and when. Everything runs on your business hours, and a reply from anyone on your team closes it.

Your levels, your timings

Each level waits for the one before it. Add teammates or any email address.

L1Priya ShahDaniel Ortizafter 1h
L2Marco Diazthen 2h
L3Ana Ruizescalations@yourco.comthen 2h

Starts above whoever they wrote to

If a client emails someone on your levels directly, the next person up hears about it, not the people below.

From ops@kestrelfreight.coTo Marco Diaz, level 2

L3Ana hears about it if Marco doesn’t reply

The final level keeps hearing about it

Reminders repeat on your chosen interval until someone replies or resolves it.

Only during business hours

A message on Friday evening doesn’t page anyone over the weekend.

A reply closes it

Answer the client from your usual inbox. The escalation resolves on its own.

Never capture

Threads involving these are skipped entirely, even with a client copied in.

Privacy

Watching a director’s inbox shouldn’t mean storing it

  • The envelope first

    We check who an email is from and to. Subject and body are only fetched when a registered client is on it.

  • Never-capture list

    Lawyers, board, HR: anything involving them is skipped.

  • You pick the mailboxes

    Monitor every mailbox or only the client-facing ones. Your own domain can never be registered as a client.

  • Sealed workspaces

    Each customer’s data is isolated in the database itself. More on security

Getting started

Running alongside your team, not instead of it

Nobody changes how they reply. Replyguard sits beside the tools you already use.

  1. Connect your channels

    Link Outlook, Slack or WhatsApp and choose which mailboxes to watch.

  2. Name your clients

    Tell us which addresses, domains or channels belong to each client.

  3. Set your levels

    Who hears first, who hears next, and how long each waits.

  4. Reply as usual

    Your team answers clients as it always has. We only speak up when nobody does.

Find out which clients are waiting right now.
