Email Services Configuration: Reply & Forward Settings

Reply & Forward Settings let you forward email replies, set reply-to addresses, configure BCC emails, and control reply tracking for email services in Kyrios.

Access Reply & Forward Settings

Open the left-side navigation menu and click Settings.

Inside Settings, click Email Services.

Open the Reply & Forward Settings tab.

This section contains:

  • Forwarding Address

  • BCC Emails

  • Forward to assigned user

  • Reply Address


Configure a Forwarding Address

Forwarding addresses send copies of incoming lead replies to another inbox while still keeping replies inside the Conversations tab. In the Forwarding Address field:

  1. Enter one or more email addresses.

  2. Press Enter after each address.

  3. Click Save.

Important Notes About Forwarding Addresses

  • Forwarding Address only works with:

    • Mailgun

    • LC Email

  • Other SMTP providers are not supported.

  • All incoming and outgoing forwarded emails may incur billing charges when rebilling is enabled.

  • Email addresses that conflict with dedicated domains are not saved.


Configure BCC Emails

BCC Emails send blind carbon copies of supported outgoing emails.

BCC applies to:

  • 1-on-1 emails

  • Workflow emails

  • Billing emails

BCC does not apply to:

  • Bulk emails

  • Campaign emails

To configure BCC emails:

  1. Locate the BCC Emails field.

  2. Enter email addresses.

  3. Press Enter after each address.

  4. Click Save.


Enable Forward to Assigned User

Enable Forward to assigned user if you want replies automatically forwarded to the contact owner’s inbox. The assigned user email is pulled from:

Settings → My Staff → Edit User → User Info

To enable:

  1. Turn on Forward to assigned user

  2. Click Save


Configure a Reply Address

Reply Address routes incoming email replies to an external inbox instead of keeping replies inside Conversations. You can add up to 5 reply addresses.

To configure:

  1. Scroll to the Reply Address section.

  2. Enter the reply-to email address.

  3. Click Save.

Important Behavior of Reply Addresses

When a user replies from an external inbox:

  • Replies do not sync back into Conversations.

  • Conversation tracking is bypassed.

  • Responses go directly to the configured inbox.


Enable Reply Tracking for SMTP Providers

Reply tracking allows replies to appear inside Conversations even when using supported SMTP providers. Go to the Domain Service tab to configure SMTP services and reply tracking.

How Reply Tracking Works

When reply tracking is enabled:

  • Kyrios rewrites the reply-to address using the tracking domain.

  • Replies are captured and routed into Conversations.

  • Workflows and automations can continue using those replies.


Example: Reply Tracking Enabled

When reply tracking is enabled, the reply-to address uses a Kyrios tracking domain similar to:

Expected Result

Replies:

  • Appear inside Conversations

  • Can trigger workflows

  • Remain associated with the contact record

Important

Do not manually create a brand-new email using the tracking reply address. The contact must reply directly to the original email thread.


Example: Reply Tracking Disabled

Without reply tracking enabled, the reply-to address remains the sender’s original email address.

Expected Result

Replies:

  • Go directly to the sender's inbox

  • Do not sync into Conversations

  • Cannot trigger Conversation-based automations


Billing for Forwarded Emails

Forwarded emails may generate additional billing charges and will be charged to your account's wallet. Charges are equivalent to normal outgoing email rates.


Common Issues and Fixes

Forwarding emails disappear after saving

This happens when:

  • The email address is invalid

Attachments are not forwarded

Forwarding settings do not forward attachments.

To access attachments:

  1. Open the Conversation thread inside Kyrios.

  2. Download the attachment from the message directly.

Replies are not appearing in Conversations

Check whether:

  • Reply tracking is enabled

  • The SMTP provider supports reply tracking

  • The user replied directly to the original email thread

Assigned users are not receiving forwarded replies

Verify:

  1. The contact has an assigned user

  2. The assigned user has a valid email address configured under My Staff
