I run a small e-commerce store and my inbox gets 200+ support emails a day. Most are about order status or returns. I need help automating responses.

I can help with that. I'll connect to your Gmail inbox and set up AI-powered auto-responses for routine questions. Let me start by analyzing your common email patterns.

Perfect. Can you auto-reply to shipping status questions and route refund requests to my billing team on Slack?

Done. I've set up two automation rules: shipping inquiries get instant replies with tracking links, and refund requests are forwarded to #billing in Slack with full context. Here's a preview of how I'd handle a recent email.

Slack — #billing channel linked

Refund requests auto-forwarded with context

That looks great. What about angry customers or complex issues?

Those get flagged automatically. Any email with negative sentiment or that doesn't match a known category gets escalated to you via Slack DM with the full thread attached. Nothing falls through the cracks.
