We’re pretty big fans of the inbox, you might say. Since launch in 2011, Cirrus Insight has been dedicated to bringing Salesforce to where their users live, namely their inboxes. By bringing Salesforce into the inbox we make our users lives easier, make them more productive, and save them time. Now we’re extending that incredible functionality, in what is one of our biggest releases ever, with the announcement of Inbox Apps™.

Inbox Apps™ bring third party and custom Salesforce apps into your inbox. Users don’t need to bounce between Salesforce and their inbox because they need to access a Salesforce application. Because of their ease of use and instant accessibility, apps in the inbox see an increase in adoption which saves you time and increases your return on investment.

Inbox Apps™ also allows developers and ISVs to deliver secure, interactive, and contextual Force.com applications directly to users in their inbox. With Inbox Apps™, organizations can bring their own custom Visualforce and Lightning apps to the inbox. And for this launch we’ve been working closely with some of the best AppExchange partners out there to make their Inbox Apps™ available.

Inbox Apps™ is part of our Closer Plan which also includes Email Campaigns and Enhanced Calendar Sync. If you are not on the Closer Plan you will be prompted to upgrade your license to add Inbox Apps™ to Cirrus Insight.

Cirrus Insight Inbox Apps™ Gallery

You are able to see all available Inbox Apps™ in the App Marketplace. Cirrus Insight admins are able to install Inbox Apps™ with a single click from the Marketplace if the corresponding app is already installed in your Salesforce org. You will see all installed apps that are Inbox Apps™ compatible in the Ready to Go Section of the Marketplace.

You will see all of the available Inbox Apps™ that are not installed in your Salesforce org in the Other Notable Apps section. If the app is not in your Salesforce org, then it will have to be installed there by your Salesforce admin first before being added to Cirrus Insight’s Inbox Apps™.
