Getting set up
Set up email and WhatsApp forwarding
Forwarding turns RepBud into your inbox for client conversations — forward an email or WhatsApp and it lands in The Lantern, ready to review. Here's how to set both channels up.

Questions
Where do my forwarded emails and messages go?+
To your review queue: To Review in the sidebar on the website, or The Lantern tab in the app. There you check the logged contact and the action points RepBud pulls out before you confirm them.
Does RepBud read my whole inbox?+
Not through forwarding — this channel only sees the emails and messages you send to your @log.repbud.app address, and nothing else in your mailbox. Connecting a mailbox so RepBud logs mail on its own is a separate, optional feature that lives on the Your Mailbox screen.
Can I choose a custom forwarding address?+
Yes. Personalise this address lets you claim a handle like yourname@log.repbud.app if it's available (3+ characters).
Do I have to connect WhatsApp?+
No, it's optional. Connect it with a one-time code if you'd like to forward client WhatsApp messages alongside your emails.
