Inbox + Maître drafts

Customer emails land in your CRM, not your Gmail. Each workspace gets a private inbound address; replies thread automatically.

What's inside
  • Per-workspace inbound email address
  • Inquiries auto-create the contact + start a thread
  • Maître drafts replies — you review and send
  • Threading survives long reply chains (Message-ID + References headers)
01

Your business has its own address

Each workspace gets its own inbound email (your-slug@inbound.aprondesk.com — point your contact form or forward your existing inbox to it). Customer messages create a contact in Pipeline if one doesn't exist, then start a thread you can reply to from inside Apron Desk.

02

Maître drafts the reply

Open a thread, hit 'Draft reply' and Maître reads the conversation, your past replies in the same situation, and the bride's event details to write a first draft. You edit and send. The morning brief surfaces overnight messages so nothing slips through.

  • Drafts saved — never auto-sent
  • Email log shows what went out and to whom
  • Replies thread correctly back to the customer
Maître woven through

Every inbound email becomes a structured handoff

Maître reads incoming threads, surfaces the ones that need you first, drafts replies that match your tone, and offers to extract anything actionable (a contact, an event, an inquiry detail) into the right table. You read the chat, click confirm, the workspace updates.

“Draft a reply to the Hendricks inquiry”

MaîtreMaître reads the original email, your past replies in similar situations, and your standard pricing — then writes a personalized first draft you edit and send.

“Anything overnight that needs me?”

MaîtreMaître scans last night's inbound, ranks by urgency, and gives you the three threads worth opening before lunch.

“Extract event details from the Hendricks thread”

MaîtreMaître pulls contact, date, guest count, venue, and budget into a structured form. One click creates the lead in Pipeline.

$50 of Maître work included monthly (~7M tokens). Heavy users opt in to overage at cost. Read more on the Maître AI page.

Need something this page doesn’t mention?

We build custom features for individual customers starting at $10/month. If your idea is broadly useful to other catering operators, we may waive the monthly fee entirely and add it to the standard catalog. The first conversation is free and we’ll tell you which path applies.
