How Yesoma flags urgent replies

Fresh-reply pulses, stale-reply alerts (team plans), and the calm-inbox idea — so you reply fast to what matters without watching your inbox all day.

Speed wins bookings. A customer who gets a reply in minutes is far more likely to book than one who waits a day. But "reply fast" should not mean "stare at your inbox all day." Yesoma surfaces the few conversations that genuinely need you now, so the rest can wait without guilt.

Fresh replies get a pulse

When a new message lands on a case, that case gets a coral New reply marker in the inbox that gently pulses. It is designed to catch your eye on a quick glance without turning your whole inbox into a wall of red. Cases sort so the freshest, most-waiting ones rise to the top.

Stale replies get flagged

On team plans, if a case has been sitting in Needs reply for about two hours without a response, Yesoma flags it as going stale and can notify the right person. The point is a safety net: the lead that slipped through during a busy afternoon gets a second chance before it goes cold.

The calm-inbox idea

The goal is the opposite of anxiety. Instead of every message screaming for attention, Yesoma separates "this is genuinely waiting on you" (Needs reply, Follow-up due, a fresh pulse) from "you have already handled this" (Awaiting customer). You work the short list, then you are done. See Understanding case status.

Make sure you actually get pinged

The in-app pulse only helps when you are looking. To catch replies when you are not on the page, turn on the other signals:

  • Browser tab badge: an unread count appears in the tab title and a dot on the favicon while the tab is in the background. Automatic, no setup.
  • Web push: get a notification even when Yesoma is closed (grant your browser/OS permission).
  • Optional email + chime: off by default; switch them on in Settings, Notifications.

Full setup is in Get notified about new messages.
