SUPPORT YOUR TEAM

Sort your shared inbox with AI and automation.

Combine routing rules with AI to sort incoming inquiries, assign owners, and flag messages that need a quick response.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Where this helps.

Requests arrive in a shared address, but staff repeatedly read the same messages to decide who should handle them.

How the workflow works.

Start with a clear trigger

Identify message type using clear routing rules and, where useful, AI classification.

Handle the routine work

Assign a responsible person or team and apply an agreed response target.

Close the loop

Flag uncertain messages and monitor items without an owner or reply.

START SMALL

A practical first pilot.

Start with a few distinct categories, such as sales, scheduling, and billing. Review classification results before enabling automatic assignment.

Record the current process before changing it: who does the work, how often it happens, and how many minutes it takes. Run a limited pilot, review exceptions, and compare the result with the original process.

What to measure.

Unassigned messages; routing corrections; response time; duplicate handling; time spent sorting.

Compare the time saved with setup, software, and ongoing review costs. Treat improvements as something to measure in your business.

Where people stay involved.

Keep uncertain classifications visible. Do not automatically delete messages or let incoming email instructions override the business’s routing rules.

A COMMON QUESTION

Should the inbox send replies automatically?

Sorting and replying are separate decisions. Start with routing, then consider approved acknowledgments or reviewed drafts once the handoff process works reliably.
