EMAIL RECORDS MANAGEMENT · Workflow idea

Keep the email records you need organized and easy to review.

Prepare a dated export of messages that meet a records owner’s chosen criteria, including the fields needed for the intended archive. Keep message text and contact details limited to people with a legitimate need, check the export for accuracy and scope, and require an authorized owner to approve its destination and any external sharing before the file is moved or disclosed.

Keep in mind

Email can contain sensitive personal, business, or financial information. Confirm the account owner’s authority and the archive purpose, collect only the necessary messages and fields, protect the resulting file, and check applicable retention rules. A person must approve the destination and exact recipients before any email content or export is shared externally.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Define approved archive purposes and filters

Choose which senders, dates, or record categories may be included and who may request an export.

Minimize sensitive message content

Include only fields needed for the archive and restrict access to message text and contact details.

Set file naming, storage, and retention rules

Choose a consistent date and file convention, an access-controlled storage location, and an appropriate retention period.

Assign archive and disclosure approvers

Name who verifies the export, approves its storage, and confirms the exact file and recipients before external sharing.
