Sometimes, people leave in the middle of a conversation you're having with them in Drift. They've got to run to a meeting, they get distracted, or they lose connectivity. Don't worry! If you've captured their email address, your unread messages can still reach them by email so that they can continue the conversation when it's convenient for them!
How to set it up
You can turn this setting on by going to Settings > App Settings > Drift Widget > Advanced or click here! Simply switch the toggle to enable the feature!
