Email Routing Automation for Records Management

Let your AI agent handle the tedious sorting and assignment of emails, scanned letters, and attachments—so you can focus on compliance and critical records work.

You spend hours in Outlook and Gmail, reading every incoming message, deciding who should handle each one, and updating tracking logs in Excel. As a records coordinator or information manager, this repetitive work keeps you from higher-value tasks. Missed messages or misplaced documents can lead to audit headaches and frustrated colleagues.

An AI agent that analyzes, assigns, and tracks incoming emails and documents for records management professionals, reducing manual sorting and improving accuracy.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In government or corporate records departments, records managers and administrative staff are buried under a constant flow of emails, scanned letters, and internal requests. Sorting correspondence, deciding which team should respond, and updating tracking spreadsheets in SharePoint or Google Sheets eats up valuable time. The manual process is error-prone, especially during peak periods or when staff are out. Overlooked messages can result in compliance gaps and delayed responses.
