What to Forward to Tradrux (and What to Keep Private)
Tradrux only sees the messages you choose to send it. Here's how to decide what to forward, how to start small, and how to stop whenever you like.
"Do I have to give it access to my whole inbox?"
It's a fair question, and it's the first thing many business owners ask. The short answer is no.
How Tradrux Gets Your Messages
Tradrux doesn't connect to your email account. There's no login, no OAuth, and no inbox access.
Instead, you create a forwarding rule in your own email app. The rule sends copies of selected messages to your personal Tradrux address. Tradrux sees what you forward and nothing else.
That puts you in control. You decide what goes in, and you can turn it off at any time.
Start With the Messages That Matter Most
You don't need to forward everything on day one. A good starting point is the stuff that costs you money when it's missed:
- Your lead inbox. The address on your website, ads, or business cards.
- Voicemail-to-email messages. If your phone provider emails you recordings, these are ideal.
- Messages from active clients. If you can filter by sender, forward the ones tied to current jobs.
Start with one or two of these. Once you see how the sorting works, widen the rule if you want.
What You Might Leave Out
Some messages don't need to go to Tradrux:
- Personal email and family correspondence
- Banking, tax, and other financial notices
- Anything you consider sensitive or confidential
- Marketing newsletters and promotions
If you use a separate address or label for business, forwarding just that is often the cleanest approach.
Your Original Messages Stay Put
Forwarding sends a copy. Your original message stays in your inbox exactly where it was, so you never lose access to anything. Tradrux works alongside your email instead of replacing it.
Forwarding also applies to new messages going forward. It doesn't pull in your history.
Turning It Off
If you want to stop, delete the forwarding rule in your email app. Tradrux stops receiving your messages immediately. There's nothing to disconnect and no access to revoke.
What Tradrux Does With a Message
Each forwarded message is read, classified, and filed with an urgency flag and a short summary. Key details like names, contact info, and requests are pulled out so you can see at a glance what needs attention.
Messages aren't changed or replied to automatically. You decide what to act on.
