Email triage for trade businesses

Your inbox, sorted before you're off the tools.

Inbox Harbour reads every email that lands in your business inbox, tags what matters — urgent, action needed, awaiting payment — and files it into the right job, customer or supplier folder. Automatically. All day. So the first time you open your email, it's already organised.

Built for plumbers, electricians & small trade firms · Works with Microsoft 365

Tagging

Marked like a shipping channel: what's urgent, what can wait.

Urgent

Deal with it now

A customer with no heating. A leak that can't wait. Anything time-critical gets flagged the moment it lands, so it never sits unread under a pile of promotions.

Action needed

Needs a reply from you

Quote requests, booking confirmations, questions from contractors. Tagged so you can clear them in one sitting instead of hunting through the whole inbox.

Awaiting payment

Money still owed

Invoices you've sent stay visible until they're settled. No more forgotten invoices or awkward "did I ever chase that?" moments at the end of the month.

// They're yours to set up: your tags, your colours, your names, your rules.

Filing

A berth for every job, customer and contractor.

Inbox Harbour builds folders around how your business actually runs — then keeps them tidy without being asked.

  • Splits your Jobs folder into Customer jobs, Contractor jobs and New job enquiries
  • Files each email into the right one as it arrives — replies, invoices, photos, the lot
  • Spots a new enquiry and opens a folder for it so the paper trail starts on day one
  • Everything stays in your own mailbox — nothing is moved anywhere else

Setup

Set up with a real person, around how you actually work.

Step one

A proper conversation

You talk to a real human — not a chatbot, not a form. We go through how email flows in and out of your business and what winds you up about it.

Step two

Built to your rules

Together we decide your tags, your folder structure and what counts as urgent for your trade. No two businesses get the same setup, because no two run the same.

Step three

Running within days

You sign in securely, we switch it on, and your inbox starts sorting itself. Want something changed later? You message a person and it gets changed.

Security

We never see your password. Ever.

Inbox Harbour connects through Microsoft's own secure sign-in (OAuth 2.0). You grant access on Microsoft's page, not ours — and you can revoke it from your own account at any time, in one click.

Why bother

Admin you don't do yourself — and don't pay anyone else to do.

30min / day

Half an hour a day sorting email doesn't sound like much — until it adds up to over three working weeks a year you could've spent on paying jobs.

£0 staff cost

The alternative is doing it yourself in the evenings, or paying an admin or VA by the hour to do it for you. Inbox Harbour does it around the clock for a flat monthly fee.

0 missed

Urgent jobs surfaced, invoices chased, every email in its folder. The quiet cost of a messy inbox is the work and money that slips through it.

You still read and reply to your own email — Inbox Harbour just makes sure that when you open it, everything's already tagged, filed and in order of what matters.

Reviews

Trade businesses running a tidier inbox.

★★★★★

"Didn't think an inbox service would make much difference honestly, but I'm not scrolling past forty emails to find the one customer who's actually waiting on me anymore. Worth it for that alone."

★★★★★

"Xander talked me through the whole setup and didn't make me feel daft for not knowing what half the folders should be called. Any time I've messaged since with a question he's sorted it same day."

JW
Jamie WalshJW Electrical
★★★★★

"I used to pay someone a few hours a week just to sit and sort my inbox out. This does the same job, if not better, for a fraction of what I was paying that person, and the support's great — quick to sort any queries I've had."
