What this agent does

The problems this agent is built to solve.

Shared inboxes stall when every message waits for a human to read, judge, and forward it. The Email Triage Agent reads each incoming message, decides what it is, and handles the routine end-to-end — leaving only the exceptions for people.

Volume without headcount

Hundreds of daily messages get classified, tagged, and answered without adding another person to the inbox rotation.

Consistent decisions

Every message is judged against the same rules — urgency, topic, customer tier — instead of whoever opened it first.

Nothing dropped

Unrecognized or risky messages are escalated with a summary instead of sitting unseen in an unread pile.

Auditable routing

Each decision — category, action, assignee — is logged, so disputes about who was supposed to handle this end.

Common workflow

How a run usually goes.

  1. 01

    Trigger

    Runs on a schedule or the moment a new message lands in the connected inbox.

  2. 02

    Read & classify

    Parses sender, content, and thread history; assigns a category (support, billing, sales, spam) and a priority level.

  3. 03

    Resolve or route

    Answers routine questions from templates and your knowledge base; routes the rest to the right person or queue with a written summary.

  4. 04

    Escalate exceptions

    Flags policy-sensitive or high-value threads — refunds, legal notices, VIP senders — for human review.

  5. 05

    Log the run

    Records every classification, action, and outcome in the run history.
