# Email from the Field

> Read, reply to, and send customer emails from the Zuper mobile app, with every email linked to the right job or customer.

A field executive often needs to reply to a customer email while still on-site. The **Communication** module brings that same email experience onto the Zuper mobile app. **Conversations** combines texts and emails, and a unified view shows everything for a single customer or contact. You read, reply to, and send emails linked to a job or customer without switching apps.

Open **Communication** from the **Quick Links** on your **Home** screen. From there, choose **Mail** or **Conversations**. Every email stays linked to the right job or customer, and your office team sees the same conversation as soon as it happens.

On mobile, you can:

* Read and reply to emails linked to a job or customer.
* Compose a new email and send it from a mailbox you have access to.
* Link a customer, contact, or job to any email.
* See every text and email with a customer or contact in one place.
* Reuse a saved template instead of typing a message from scratch.
