You can now reply directly to conversations from your inbox! When a subscriber replies to one of your emails, you'll see their message in your inbox—and now you can write back right there, without switching to your email client.

Just type your reply and hit send (or Cmd+Enter / Ctrl+Enter). Your response gets sent as an email to the subscriber and appears in the conversation thread, so you can keep track of the whole back-and-forth in one place.

This makes it way easier to have actual conversations with your subscribers, whether they're asking questions, sharing feedback, or just saying hi. No more context switching between Buttondown and your email app—everything lives in your inbox.

(We've been building toward this for a while—check out how conversations work if you want the full backstory.)

Buttondown is the last email platform you’ll switch to.
