    Shared Links: Move Your Emails Outside the Inbox

    April 30th, 2020

    Sometimes you need to show your teammates a specific email or thread. You can forward an email, copy text from it, or make a screenshot, but there is a better option. In Spark for Teams, you can create a link to an email and share it with other people.

    Why use shared links:

    • Provide instant access to an email by sharing the link on Slack, Confluence, or other tools your team uses
    • Add email links to internal docs to keep everyone on the same page
    • Share great email templates with your team

    We do NOT share your emails with other people automatically; only you can share them. When you create a link to an email, the message is saved on our secure server and the people you shared the link with are able to view the email. For more details regarding privacy, see Spark Privacy Policy.
