What is a Shared Inbox Automation?

What Is Inbox Automation?

Shared or team inboxes such as info@myco.com, finance@myco.com, claims@myco.ocm, receive important submissions, enquiries and questions, often in large volumes.

Processing those incoming submissions or enquiries costs time and effort and, if done badly, can damage your reputation with customers and partners.

Ondox provides inbox automation to solve this problem at speed and scale. That saves time and effort, increases the consistency of responses, and makes your teams more productive.

Ondox uses the latest AI technologies to automatically understand incoming submissions and queries, even if contained in attachments, and responds accurately and fast.

If Ondox can’t answer automatically, we bring a human into the loop and equip them with pre-built, efficient tools to help them quickly respond.

How Does Inbox Automation Work?

Inbox automation collects and processes all messages and documents sent to specific addresses, such as claims, finance, enquiries or similar team inboxes. AI automatically understands the email and attachments and then replies immediately or engages human team members to act on incoming messages and documents.

Automated responses can leverage FAQ documents or standard operating procedures to match incoming enquiries to already available answers.

Included tools help drive document flow, streamline team actions, improve responses to customers, and manage document disposition.
