How to Create and Manage a Team

Spark for Teams enables companies to be more effective in email communication. You can create a team in Spark to draft, share, and discuss emails together with your colleagues. Now, you don’t have to constantly forward emails or copy them to your messenger if you need input from your team. Both external and internal communications happen in Spark.

Why use teams:

Draft emails together in real time
Discuss emails privately in comments to provide faster replies
Share links to specific emails
Delegate emails to your teammates

When the checkbox at the bottom is ticked, everyone with your company’s email (e.g. example@companyname.com) receives an invitation to join your team. Untick this checkbox if you want to invite only certain people.
