Email, chat, Instagram, Messenger and forms in one inbox.

Every way your customers reach you lands in one inbox, with the order beside it and a draft ready. Replies go back out on the channel the customer used.

What it does

  • Gmail

    Connect in two clicks. Replies send from your own Gmail address and stay in your mailbox.

  • Any other email

    Forward your support address to Hobson and verify your domain so replies come from your address. Several addresses can share one inbox.

  • Outlook and Microsoft 365

    Direct connection is coming soon. Forwarding works today.

  • Instagram and Messenger

    Connect your Facebook Page and Instagram account. Hobson respects Meta’s 24-hour reply window.

  • Contact forms

    A hosted form link or an embed for your site, with spam protection and file uploads.

  • Live chat

    A chat widget for your Shopify store or any website, answered by Hobson and your team.

How it works

  1. 1

    Connect a channel

    Settings › Email & domains, Live chat, Forms, or Instagram & Messenger.

  2. 2

    Messages arrive in one inbox

    Hobson sorts each one and finds the customer and their order.

    Reply where they wrote

    Approve the draft and it goes back by email, chat, DM or Messenger.

What stays in your control

  • Your mailbox stays the record. Hobson never takes over your MX records.
  • Pick which address each reply is sent from.
  • Spam is kept apart and doesn’t count towards your plan.
