🧩 Introduction to Custom Apps in Mailbird

You can now add any app you like to Mailbird in just a few simple steps. This powerful feature lets you access your favorite apps directly inside Mailbird, without the need to switch between different programs or browser tabs.

Let’s walk through how to set up a custom app.

🛠️ How to Start Adding a Custom App

  1. Click the Apps icon located in the bottom-left corner of Mailbird.

  2. At the top of the Apps page, click + Custom app.

🔗 Adding an App

Let’s imagine that you want to add the Amazon app. Simply follow these steps:

  1. Provide the app's URL (e.g., https://www.amazon.com).

  2. Choose an icon that represents the app.

  3. Name your app (e.g., "Amazon").

  4. Click Go to generate a preview.

  5. If the preview looks good, click OK to finalize the setup.

🧭 Optional: Enable Sidebar Version

You can also choose to Enable sidebar version of the app. This feature lets you:

  • View the app in Mailbird's sidebar.

  • Keep the app open while still reading or managing your email.

To do this, simply toggle the option before clicking OK.

✅ Final Confirmation

Once you're satisfied with the preview:

  1. Click OK to confirm your setup.

  2. Your custom app icon will now appear on the left-hand side of Mailbird.

  3. You can launch Amazon (or any other app you’ve added) directly from inside Mailbird.
