EMAIL TRIAGE REVIEW · Workflow idea

See important messages sooner while keeping every classification open to correction.

For inboxes an organization has permission to manage, prepare concise message summaries and suggested priority labels for an authorized reviewer. Treat spam and urgency labels as fallible suggestions, keep original messages available, protect personal and confidential content, and require a person to verify decisions before a message is deleted, answered, or otherwise acted on.

The handoff

A source-linked message summary with suggested priority, classification notes, and review status.

Keep in mind

A mistaken spam or priority decision can conceal an urgent or legitimate request. Do not automatically delete or ignore messages, keep classification evidence available, limit access to message content, and have a person verify sensitive, unusual, or high-impact cases before taking action.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Limit eligible inboxes and reviewer access

Use only accounts covered by the organization’s access policy.

Set privacy and retention limits

Avoid copying unnecessary message content into summaries or logs.

Define review rules for spam and urgency

Keep uncertain and potentially important messages visible to people.

Require approval before action

Do not delete, send, or change a message based only on a classification.
