Client Request Routing

Small businesses often receive requests through email, forms, text messages, and web chat, then lose time deciding who should handle them. This automation categorizes the request, tags the urgency, and puts it in front of the right person immediately.

How It Works

01

Collect incoming requests

Messages from website forms, shared inboxes, and support channels feed into one routing workflow.

02

Categorize the request

Rules or simple AI classify whether it is sales, support, billing, scheduling, or an active client issue.

03

Route to the right owner

The request is assigned to the correct person or inbox with tags, notes, and response expectations.

04

Confirm receipt to the client

An automatic acknowledgement tells the client their request was received and when they should expect a reply.
