Stop Manual Triage. Let AI Route Every Ticket.

Classify incoming emails by urgency, topic, and sentiment in real time. Route to the right team instantly and send acknowledgments automatically.


Why this matters

Manual ticket triage creates bottlenecks that cascade through your entire support operation. A single person scanning emails becomes the chokepoint — urgent issues wait behind routine questions, misrouted tickets bounce between teams, and customers receive no acknowledgment for hours. As volume grows, the problem compounds.


How MultiMail solves this

MultiMail lets your AI agent read every incoming email, classify it by urgency, topic, and sentiment, then route it to the appropriate team — all within seconds of arrival. With monitored oversight, the agent operates autonomously while your team maintains full visibility into every classification and routing decision.

1

Ingest Incoming Emails

Your AI agent monitors the support mailbox via MultiMail's inbox API or webhooks. Every new email is read and its content extracted for classification.

2

Classify by Urgency, Topic, and Sentiment

The agent analyzes the email content and assigns urgency (critical, high, normal, low), topic (billing, technical, account, feature request), and sentiment (frustrated, neutral, positive).

3

Tag and Route

Classification results are applied as tags via the tag_email tool. The agent forwards the email or sends a structured notification to the appropriate team's queue based on your routing rules.

4

Send Instant Acknowledgment

The agent sends a personalized acknowledgment to the sender with an estimated response time based on urgency and current queue depth. Under monitored oversight, these send automatically while your team can review.

5

Escalate When Needed

Critical or high-urgency tickets with negative sentiment trigger immediate escalation — notifying senior staff via email with full context and classification details.


Implementation

Classify an Incoming Email
python
import requests

API = "https://api.multimail.dev/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer mm_live_xxx"}

"cm"># Fetch unread emails
inbox = requests.get(
    f"{API}/mailboxes/{MAILBOX_ID}/inbox",
    headers=HEADERS,
    params={"status": "unread", "limit": 50}
).json()

for msg in inbox["emails"]:
    email = requests.get(
        f"{API}/emails/{msg[&"cm">#039;id']}", headers=HEADERS
    ).json()

    # Your classification logic
    classification = classify_email(email["text_body"])
    # Returns: {urgency: "high", topic: "billing", sentiment: "frustrated"}

    # Tag the email with classification results
    requests.post(
        f"{API}/emails/{email[&"cm">#039;id']}/tags",
        headers=HEADERS,
        json={"tags": [
            f"urgency:{classification[&"cm">#039;urgency']}",
            f"topic:{classification[&"cm">#039;topic']}",
            f"sentiment:{classification[&"cm">#039;sentiment']}"
        ]}
    )

Read a new email and classify it by urgency, topic, and sentiment using your AI model.

Send Acknowledgment and Route
python
import requests

API = "https://api.multimail.dev/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": "Bearer mm_live_xxx"}

ROUTING = {
    "billing": "[email protected]",
    "technical": "[email protected]",
    "account": "[email protected]",
    "feature_request": "[email protected]"
}

def triage_and_route(email: dict, classification: dict):
    "cm"># Send acknowledgment to sender
    requests.post(f"{API}/reply", headers=HEADERS, json={
        "in_reply_to": email["id"],
        "text_body": (
            f"Hi {email[&"cm">#039;from_name']}, we've received your message "
            f"and our {classification[&"cm">#039;topic']} team will respond "
            f"within {get_sla(classification[&"cm">#039;urgency'])}. "
            f"Your reference number is {email[&"cm">#039;id'][:8].upper()}."
        )
    })

    # Route to appropriate team
    team_email = ROUTING.get(classification["topic"])
    requests.post(f"{API}/send", headers=HEADERS, json={
        "from": "[email protected]",
        "to": team_email,
        "subject": f"[{classification[&"cm">#039;urgency'].upper()}] {email['subject']}",
        "text_body": (
            f"New ticket routed to your team.\n\n"
            f"From: {email[&"cm">#039;from']}\n"
            f"Urgency: {classification[&"cm">#039;urgency']}\n"
            f"Sentiment: {classification[&"cm">#039;sentiment']}\n\n"
            f"---\n{email[&"cm">#039;text_body']}"
        )
    })

Send a personalized acknowledgment to the sender and notify the appropriate team.

What you get

Zero Triage Bottleneck

Every email is classified and routed within seconds of arrival. No single person becomes the chokepoint for your entire support queue.

Accurate Priority Routing

AI considers content, sentiment, and context — not just keywords. Critical issues from frustrated customers surface immediately instead of waiting in a FIFO queue.

Instant Customer Acknowledgment

Every sender receives a personalized acknowledgment with a reference number and expected response time, reducing 'where is my response?' follow-ups.

Full Visibility with Monitored Oversight

Your team sees every classification and routing decision in real time. No approvals needed for speed, but full transparency to catch and correct any misroutes.

Scales with Volume

Whether you receive 50 or 5,000 emails per day, triage happens at the same speed. No additional headcount needed as support volume grows.


Recommended oversight mode

Recommended
monitored
Triage acknowledgments are low-risk, templated messages. Monitored mode lets the agent classify, route, and acknowledge without approval delays while giving your team full visibility to audit routing accuracy and catch edge cases.

Common questions

How accurate is AI-based email classification?
Accuracy depends on your classification model and training data. Most teams see 90%+ accuracy on topic classification and 85%+ on urgency after initial tuning. MultiMail's tagging system makes it easy to audit results and feed corrections back into your model.
What if the agent misroutes a ticket?
Under monitored oversight, your team can see every routing decision in real time. Misrouted tickets can be manually reassigned. The tag history provides a clear audit trail, and you can use misroute data to improve your classification model over time.
Can I customize routing rules?
Absolutely. Routing logic lives in your agent code, not in MultiMail. You define which topics go to which teams, how urgency maps to SLAs, and what conditions trigger escalation. MultiMail provides the email infrastructure; your agent provides the intelligence.
Does this replace my helpdesk software?
No. MultiMail handles email ingestion, classification, and routing at the infrastructure level. It works alongside helpdesks like Zendesk, Freshdesk, or Linear. Think of it as a smart preprocessing layer that ensures tickets arrive pre-classified and correctly routed.
Can I triage emails from multiple mailboxes?
Yes. You can monitor multiple MultiMail mailboxes from a single agent. This is useful if you have separate addresses for sales, support, and billing but want unified triage logic across all of them.
