Service · Email automation

Your inbox organises itself.

Incoming emails are analysed, categorised and routed automatically according to a GREEN/YELLOW/RED model. Standard cases are prepared or answered, sensitive cases are delivered to your team with a draft, and urgent cases trigger an immediate internal alert.

Live example

A client email arrives — this is what AI prepares from it.

Example from a law firm: summarise, prioritise and prepare, without providing automated legal advice.

From: m.hofer@example.com
Subject: Received notice of termination — please review
Received: today, 08:47
“Dear Sir or Madam, I received a notice of termination yesterday and apparently need to respond by next week. Could you please let me know which documents you require?”

We will review the documents internally and contact you regarding the next steps. Please note that a binding legal assessment can only be provided after review by our firm.”
The traffic-light logic

GREEN, YELLOW, RED — simply explained.

Every incoming email is automatically assigned to one of three levels. You define which cases belong in each category.

● GREEN

Suitable for automatic handling

Standard enquiries, simple responses and forwarding. The response is based on your approved knowledge base and can be sent automatically or provided as a ready-to-send draft.

Example: “What are your opening hours?” → The response is sent automatically and the process is logged.
● YELLOW

Prepare, then review by a person

AI creates a summary, reply draft and recommended action. Nothing is sent until your team has reviewed it.

Example: “Could you send me a proposal?” → A draft containing all identified data waits in the inbox.
● RED

Critical — immediate human escalation

Complaints, deadlines and sensitive or legally delicate cases receive no automated reply. Instead, they are escalated immediately with an internal alert to the responsible person.

Example: “I have been waiting for two weeks — this is unacceptable!” → An alert is sent to the team lead with high priority.

How it works.

03

Automated reply, team draft or internal alert.

05

Logging

Every process is labelled and logged.

Challenges

What this service solves.

Overloaded inbox

Important emails are lost among standard questions and spam.

The same questions every day

Opening hours, status updates and follow-up questions are answered manually again and again.

Complaints detected too late

Critical emails remain unanswered until an upset customer follows up.

No traceability

Without labels and logging, it is unclear who responded to what and when.

Benefits

What your business gains.

Time savingsBetter visibilityFewer errorsFaster responseBetter data qualityClear responsibilitiesHuman oversight

Your team only handles emails that genuinely require people. Response times can fall significantly, nothing is lost and every process remains traceable.

Security & control

Automation with sound judgement.

  • GREEN is enabled only for non-critical standard cases, and you define exactly which cases qualify.
  • No unchecked automated decisions in critical cases — sensitive matters are always escalated to a person.
  • No binding pricing, legal or personnel decisions without explicit approval.
  • GDPR requirements are considered from the outset. A legal review is required before going live with real customer data, and test and live systems remain separate.
