📬 Unified Inbox · one mailbox for the whole shop
Every person at MDC gets their own work email (mike@, deb@, irwin@, etc.). All of them flow into one shared admin inbox. Color-coded by who. Smart-tagged by type (parts / fleet / customer / urgent). You just type the name — the system handles the rest.
"Each one of them at their company could be logged into the admin panel and their emails brought in one place · just add the name · we do the rest." — Papa
Company domain:
All addresses auto-build from the name you add below
👥 The team · just add a name, system makes the email
Pick a role (Owner/Office/Field/Web) and a first name — the system spawns name@mdcconsolidated.com, wires it into the inbox, and tags everything from that user with their color.
