Reply-handling best practices

TL;DR

Speed and routing win replies. Get every reply into Unibox, triage by sentiment, route to the right owner fast, and let the agent handle the routine follow-ups so humans spend time only where a human matters.

Centralize in Unibox

Every reply across mailboxes should land in Unibox so nothing gets lost in an individual inbox. A reply sitting unseen for two days is a lost meeting; a single triage surface fixes that.

Triage by sentiment and intent

Use sentiment classification to separate hot positives, questions, objections, and opt-outs. Positive intent should route to an AE or trigger reply-to-meeting automation immediately; opt-outs must suppress instantly.

Route fast, respond faster

Configure routing rules so a reply reaches its owner in minutes, not hours. For inbound interest, response time is the strongest predictor of conversion — reply-to-meeting automation closes that gap when a human isn't watching.

Let the agent handle routine, escalate the rest

The agent can answer common questions and schedule meetings; it should escalate pricing pushback, complaints, legal mentions, and anything unusual to a human immediately. Tune what escalates so humans see the conversations that need them.
