  • Better scalability during volume peaks

FAQ

Common questions

Can this work with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace inboxes?

Yes. We integrate with common mailbox platforms and design rules around the inboxes your teams already monitor.

Will automation send replies without human review?

Only where you define safe, rules-based responses. Most workflows create tasks or draft actions for team approval first.
