# Shared Inbox use cases

**Sales Team Use-case**&#x20;

* Sales agents should use the **Unassigned** filter as their default view to see new customers queries coming through
* Sales agents can assign themselves to an email by using **/assign** to signal and notify others in the team that they have taken over this particular customer email
* Once the customer query is dealt with the sales agent can notify the rest of the team by using **/resolve** - This will show others that the email is resolved&#x20;
* The sales manager will be able to oversee all the emails and actions and can label items as  Unassigned, In Progress, Resolved and personal filters throughout the day

* Support agents will then use their personal filter to see the tasks assigned to them
* Once a customer issue is resolved the support agent can resolve the email by using **/resolve** - This will show others that the email is resolved&#x20;
* the head of support will be able to oversee all the emails and actions and can label items as  Unassigned, In Progress, Resolved and personal filters throughout the day
