Governed Triage for Shared and Team Mailboxes
Shared inboxes are where ownership gets blurry and tone drifts. HEIDI applies one persona, clear routing rules, and approval gates across info@, support@, and orders@ — so every reply reads as one team, and sensitive actions still wait for a human.

Routed to owners
What is shared mailbox triage?
Shared mailbox triage uses AI to categorise, route, and draft replies for team inboxes such as info@, support@, or orders@, applying a consistent persona and approval gates. HEIDI keeps ownership clear and sensitive actions human-approved.

Industries
Tailored for your industry
SMB shared inbox
Challenge
info@ queues need one voice, role-based approvals, and visibility into open answers.
How we help
Governed triage for shared mailboxes, consistent persona, and open-answers KPI monitoring in Overview.
Example: info@ inquiry → triage → grounded draft → team approval
Customer support
Challenge
High-volume support@ threads need fast, accurate replies without bypassing policy or knowledge checks.
How we help
Triage by intent, ground drafts on the product KB, propose Zendesk tickets, and gate sends behind supervisor approval.
Example: Warranty claim → KB-grounded draft → ticket proposal → approved send
Insurance brokers
Challenge
Policy and renewal inquiries need compliant answers tied to approved product sheets, not thread guesswork.
How we help
Hybrid RAG on product documentation, compliant draft replies, and CRM deal notes prepared for human sign-off.
Example: Renewal inquiry → RAG-grounded draft → CRM note → approved reply
Operations
Challenge
Cross-system exceptions — order vs invoice mismatches — stall when email stays in the inbox.
How we help
Route exceptions, propose CRM updates, and escalate to Slack with an approval trail.
Example: Mismatch thread → triage → CRM proposal → Slack escalation
Success stories
How teams transformed their operations
Support Ops — warranty escalation
Customer supportChallenge
Customer A emailed support@ with a warranty edge case; the agent needed policy-backed wording fast.
Solution
HEIDI triaged the thread, retrieved the warranty SOP via hybrid RAG, and prepared a draft with visible sources for supervisor approval.
Result
Approved reply sent with audit record; Zendesk ticket proposal filed after sign-off.
Ops — order vs invoice mismatch
OperationsChallenge
Vendor mail described an order-invoice mismatch that required CRM update and internal escalation.
Solution
Exception triage, CRM field proposal, and Slack escalation prepared as separate approval requests.
Result
Systems updated after approval; audit trail captured each decision.
Avoid these
Common mistakes (and how to avoid them)
Treating the inbox as a personal productivity tool only
Operational mail is team work — approvals, shared knowledge, and connected systems matter.
Use a governed workspace with role-based approvals and connector actions.
Letting AI auto-send without approval gates
Sensitive replies need policy, tone, and source review — especially in regulated industries.
Configure approval before send; show sources on every grounded draft.
Confusing governed outreach with marketing automation
Simple offer campaigns are operational — recipient review and sync-replies, not drip sequences or open-rate tracking.
Use Simple Outreach Campaign with Action Inbox lanes and offer-pipeline KPIs.
Why shared inboxes need governance
A personal assistant model breaks down on a shared inbox: tone drifts, threads get answered twice, and there is no record of who decided what. HEIDI is built for the team case — a shared persona for consistent voice, routing rules for clear ownership, and approval gates plus an audit trail for governance. That is the difference between a productivity helper and an operational workspace.
