Message categories
For Email & inbox automation, we start by reviewing message categories. We identify what already works and which decisions your team needs to make.
01A useful starting point
Make busy inboxes easier to organise.
A busy inbox often mixes routine requests with messages that need care. We define categories and routing rules, with draft replies and human review where sending the wrong message would matter.
An automation is useful when it handles a clearly defined task reliably. We decide what it can access, where it should stop and who reviews important decisions before connecting it to live business tools.
02The everyday problem
Make the important
work easier to do.
Draft responses
We agree how draft responses will fit the people and tools involved. Dependencies are reviewed before the implementation is scheduled.
Approval steps
We check approval steps in a realistic working journey. The result records any limitations and the person responsible for follow-up.
03Your agreed scope
Clear deliverables. Shared expectations.
Message categories
Agree how the item or order is recorded and updated through the operation. The rules should explain what is available, what has changed and which person handles the next step.
Draft responses
Prepare the working detail for review, with time to ask questions and resolve assumptions.
Approval steps
Write down the rules and the person authorised to make each decision. We include what happens when the request falls outside the normal limits, so an exception has a clear route to review.
Mailbox permissions
Agree which records and actions each person can use. We check the boundaries across screens, searches and exports, rather than relying on a hidden button to protect information.
04A connected working system
From a trigger to a useful outcome.
01
A form arrives
An agreed event starts the process with only the data it needs.
02
An agent checks the request
The assistant works from trusted sources and checks the task boundaries.
03
Rules route the next step
Business rules decide the route. Missing information goes to an exception queue.
04
A person approves the action
A person reviews important changes before anything is sent or committed.
05Our delivery process
Understand. Build.
Check. Hand over.
Discover
Discuss the real task, existing systems and constraints. Record what success looks like before choosing a solution.
Plan
Review the structure and agree the scope, responsibilities and acceptance examples. Set a realistic sequence for delivery.
Deliver
Build the agreed work in reviewable stages. Check the important details with your team and explain decisions as they are made.
Launch & support
Test the finished journeys, agree the launch and explain ownership. Discuss ongoing support separately from the initial build.
06Your existing tools
Build on what
already works.
An automation is useful when it handles a clearly defined task reliably. We decide what it can access, where it should stop and who reviews important decisions before connecting it to live business tools.
Platform choices follow the requirements. We review existing accounts, data formats and supplier agreements before proposing replacements or additional subscriptions.
Before anything connects
- A real example of the repeated task
- Tool owners and data boundaries
- Approval rules and failure contacts
Access should match the task. Your business keeps ownership of its accounts and records.
07Quality and safeguards
Useful intelligence. Clear boundaries.
Checking Email & inbox automation in practice
Classify a sample message and prepare a draft using the minimum necessary mailbox access. Test an uncertain category and a sensitive request; both should reach a human reviewer rather than being sent automatically.
Your project uses examples agreed with your team. This scenario explains the checks to consider; it is not a completed client case study.
Controlled access
Agents receive only the tools and data needed for the agreed task. Sensitive actions require suitable approval.
Practical checks
Real examples are used to evaluate answers, tool use and fallback behaviour. Uncertain output should be reviewed.
People stay involved
There is a route to a person when the assistant cannot help. Owners can review errors and stop a workflow.
08Scope and investment
A proposal you
can understand.
Choose the level of work that fits your goal. We confirm the price after reviewing the requirements and list recurring and third-party costs separately.

09Ready for the first conversation
A little preparation.
A better starting point.
- A real example of the repeated task
- Tool owners and data boundaries
- Approval rules and failure contacts
You do not need a finished specification. A real example, a clear goal and someone who knows the current process are enough to begin.

11Your questions, answered
Clear answers.
Before you commit.
Where does Email & inbox automation begin?
We start with message categories, then agree what draft responses needs to cover. A real example from your business helps us define the work accurately.
What will we receive?
Your proposal sets out message categories, draft responses, approval steps, mailbox permissions. The handover records the agreed setup, the checks completed and the responsibilities that remain with your team.
Can an agent take actions without approval?
Only within explicitly agreed permissions. Payments, sensitive changes and important customer communications should pass through a suitable human approval step.
How do you decide the price?
We quote for the agreed deliverables, complexity and support needs. Hosting, subscriptions, advertising spend and third-party charges are identified separately.
How will we check that the work is ready?
We use realistic examples to check approval steps and mailbox permissions. Your team reviews the important journeys before the work is signed off.
What happens after launch?
We explain the handover and maintenance needs. Ongoing support is a separate agreed scope with clear responsibilities and a review schedule.
