About Outdraft
What Outdraft is, why it brings mail and shared work together, and how its pricing model works.
What is Outdraft?
Outdraft is an email workspace that begins with your own inbox and grows into a place to work with other people. Send personal mail, write to a team or an organization, and share existing messages in a Nest. You can move between those spaces without moving your work to a different product.
Personal, team, and organization mail each have a clear home. A Nest is a shared place for messages you choose to bring together with others. Read more about these boundaries in Scopes.
Why Outdraft?
Work does not stay in one inbox. Outdraft lets you start alone, then bring people into a shared organization, team, or Nest as the work grows. One message can reach a group while each person gets their own copy. Mail shared into a space can be found by the people who belong there.
You can get started without buying or configuring a domain. Inviting another member does not add a charge for that member, within your plan's limits. For groups that would otherwise pay for every person, the total cost can be dramatically lower as more people participate. Plans also have limits for members, sends, storage, and some roles, so check pricing for the current details.
One workspace, different ways to work
You do not need to create an organization to use Outdraft. Start with mail for yourself, then choose a shared space when the work involves other people.
Your inbox
Start with personal conversations and keep the mail that belongs to you in one place.
Teams and organizations
Give shared work a home with its own members and mail. Write to the group from the same compose window you use for personal mail.
Nests
Make a smaller shared space for any purpose, invite people, and bring in the emails each person wants to share. A Nest gathers existing mail; it is not a sending identity.
For example, a studio can keep project conversations with its team, while friends can collect travel bookings in a Nest. The original message stays in its own mail space when someone shares it into a Nest. See how Nests work.
Keep the conversation with the mail
Discuss a shared message with the people working on it. Comments let you ask questions, share files, and follow up while keeping the email in view. These conversations stay inside the selected shared space; posting a comment does not send an email reply to the original sender.
Joining a shared space does not expose your personal inbox. You choose which personal messages to share, and access to the shared mail and its comments follows that space’s membership and permissions. If you share the same message into several spaces, each has its own conversation. Learn more in the Collaboration guide.
Find the important details with AI
Outdraft automatically classifies incoming personal mail so you can browse messages by category and find those flagged for attention. When a message needs a closer look, request a summary to get a quick overview with the original email still available below it.
Classification and summaries use your plan’s AI credit allowance. Check the original message for important details before acting on a summary. The AI guide explains how these features work and how usage is counted.
Explore the workflow
Sending to a team or organization takes one message. Outdraft delivers a copy to each person's inbox, so they can follow it from their own mail. See how group mail works, or follow the getting started guide to find your way around the workspace.
