UiPath Automation Cloud can transform how small businesses handle email by automating processes like sorting, responding, and filing. Here’s how it works:
1. Automate Email Sorting
Create workflows that analyze incoming emails and move them to specific folders based on keywords or sender information. For example:
Customer inquiries → "Support" folder.
Supplier updates → "Orders" folder.
2. Create Auto-Responses
Use UiPath to detect repetitive inquiries and send predefined responses. This ensures customers get instant replies without manual effort.
3. Integrate with CRMs
Sync important emails with your customer relationship management (CRM) software. For instance, UiPath can pull order-related emails and log them directly into your CRM system.
