About This Automation

Client queries arrive throughout the day via email with no automatic sorting or routing. Staff manually read, categorize, search for client records, and forward emails, creating delays and lost context.

Automation reads incoming emails, determines query type and urgency, looks up client details, and routes each query to the right team member with full context. Responses are drafted using templates and client data, then logged automatically.

Key features
Automatically classify incoming client emails by query type and urgency
Look up client records and retrieve relevant account history in real time
Route queries to the correct team member with full context attached
Draft contextual response templates using client-specific details
Log all queries and responses in a central record automatically
Flag complex or sensitive queries for manual review before sending

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Email arrives in inboxtrigger

Client email is received in the shared inbox and triggers the automation workflow.

2. Extract email content

Automation reads the sender, subject, body, and any attachments from the incoming email.

3. Classify query type

The automation analyses the email content and assigns a category (invoice question, service status, billing issue, general inquiry, etc.) and urgency level.

4. Look up client

Automation queries using the sender email address to retrieve the client record, account status, and recent activity.

5. Route to responsible team

Based on query type and client details, automation assigns the email to the correct team member notification and updates with the ticket.

6. Send acknowledgement to client

Templated acknowledgement email is sent to the client confirming receipt and expected response time.

7. Log query

Query details, category, assigned owner, and timestamp are recorded as a ticket for tracking and audit.
