01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An unread customer support email with an inquiry subject

“Sort the inquiry by topic and priority, summarize what the customer needs, set a response deadline, and prepare a reply for review.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Organizes incoming support messages into cases, calculates a response target based on priority, records follow-up details, and prepares a reply in the original conversation.

  1. Recognize new inquiries

    Collect new customer messages that meet your team’s inquiry criteria.

  2. Summarize and categorize the request

    Create a short case summary and suggest a category and priority from the information in the message.

  3. Set a response target

    Apply your chosen response-time expectations and make the resulting due time visible to the team.

  4. Record the case and follow-up

    Keep the sender, subject, summary, priority, and response target together in the support record and calendar.

  5. Prepare a reply for review

    Save a suggested response with the original conversation so a support person can edit and send it.

  6. Alert the team to urgent cases

    Bring high-priority requests to the designated team’s attention without sending a customer reply automatically.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A tracked support case with a summary, response deadline, calendar follow-up, and an unsent reply draft. High-priority cases also receive an internal alert.
