Shared inbox

Every email and WhatsApp, in one inbox the whole team can see

Tenants message on WhatsApp, landlords email, contractors do both. Lanten puts all of it in one place — assigned, labelled and answered by whoever’s free, not whoever’s phone it landed on.

Lanten inbox: email and WhatsApp conversations together in one list

Built for how an agency actually works

01

Email and WhatsApp side by side

Connect your Outlook mailboxes and your WhatsApp Business number. Every conversation shows up in the same list, with a badge for the channel, and you reply from wherever it came in — the tenant never has to switch.

02

Assign, snooze, done

Every thread has an owner. Pull up what’s assigned to you, what’s assigned to others, what’s snoozed until Thursday and what’s done — so nothing sits in a personal inbox while someone’s on viewings.

03

Shared mailboxes, not shared passwords

lettings@, sales@ and property@ all live here alongside personal inboxes. Everyone works from the same list; nobody logs in as someone else.

04

Your whole team on the same conversation

Assign a conversation to whoever should own it, and everyone can see who has it. Nobody answers the same landlord twice, and handing a thread over is a click rather than a forwarded chain and a phone call.

Not sure how WhatsApp Business works?

Most agencies “do WhatsApp” on someone’s personal phone. That’s a different thing from a business number the agency owns — with a verified profile, a legal record of every message, and no history walking out the door when staff leave. Lanten is a Meta Business Partner and sets it up for you.

Your CRM, next to every message

The property, tenancy, landlord and maintenance history from Street or Acquaint sit beside the conversation — and update from it. See the Property CRM page →
