So how does HEY work?
Well, let’s jump in.
First,
you get a fresh start
with a new email address at hey.com.
Once you log in,
you’re taken to your Imbox.
No, that’s not a typo.
“Im” stands for Important.
You have the newest emails at the top
and everything you’ve already read
below that.
Now the first time
anybody emails your HEY address,
their email gets sent to The Screener
which tells you
how many people have emailed you
for the first time.
It’s kind of like screening your calls.
If you don’t want to hear
from someone, hit no.
And you never have to
hear from them again.
If you do, hit yes.
Now back in your Imbox.
Let’s say
you want to respond to a few emails,
but don’t have time right now.
Just click ‘em then hit Reply Later.
Now, those emails are organized
neatly at the bottom of your Imbox.
You can click on one to reply to it
now or go to Focus and Reply
where it lines them all up
for you to reply to on one page.
So you can knock ‘em out
one by one, distraction free.
Now sometimes you have an email
you want to access quickly
without digging for it.
Again, just click the email,
but this time hit Set Aside.
Now there’s a different pile
at the bottom of your screen
for whatever you need
to access quickly.
In addition to your Imbox,
you also have The Feed,
which is where you can send
all your newsletters,
then view them in a scrollable feed,
even open them within it.
You also have The Paper Trail,
which is where
your transactions, receipts
and shipping notices go.
You need ‘em
You just don’t
need to see ’em all the time.
And there’s much more
you can do in HEY.
Need a file?
Go to All Files to see all your files
without having to dig through
any emails.
You can even filter them by file
type or person.
Want to get off a long email thread?
Hit Ignore.
Instead of asking
someone to remove you.
Don’t want to forget an email?
Hit Bubble Up,
then schedule it
to shoot to the top of your Imbox
for whatever day you choose.
Have a project
with lots of steps?
Use Workflows to organize
emails on a Kanban board.
Don’t want to miss an important email?
Turn on notifications
for a single thread.
Need to grab a small detail later?
Just clip it
then reference it in your clips
library instead of searching for it
in an email.
One to change a subject line?
Just rename it
without messing it up for anyone else.
Want to add a note
on an email in your Imbox?
Throw up a sticky note.
Wanna read emails quickly?
Hit Read Together
and you can read them all
at once on one screen.
And it also does all these things,
which is a lot.
So maybe just give it a whirl yourself
and unlock the magic of HEY
at your own pace.
