How does Threadly track email responses?

Threadly analyses message direction (inbound vs outbound) and timing to automatically detect response patterns. It shows which threads have active back-and-forth, which are waiting for replies, and which have gone quiet.

What are velocity signals?

Velocity signals show how active a thread is. A high-velocity thread has frequent back-and-forth messages with multiple participants, while a low-velocity thread has gone quiet. This helps you identify which conversations are alive and which need attention.

Can I replace my response tracking spreadsheet with Threadly?

Yes. Threadly automatically does what manual spreadsheets try to do — tracking who responded, when, and what's still pending. It's always up to date because it reads directly from your email, eliminating manual data entry.

Why Spreadsheet Tracking Doesn't Scale

Manual data entry

Every response needs to be manually logged. One forgotten entry and your tracking sheet is inaccurate.

No real-time visibility

Spreadsheets show you what happened yesterday. They can't tell you what's happening right now across your inbox.

Missing patterns

You can't easily spot which threads are heating up, which are going cold, or where conversations have the most momentum.

Automatic Response Intelligence

Threadly reads your email in real time and computes response metrics automatically.

Velocity and heat signals

Each thread gets a velocity score based on reply frequency and participant count. High-velocity threads are marked as "Active" so you know where conversations are alive.
