Case Categories

Incoming emails that get converted to new Cases can go through additional automatic actions. One of these actions could be setting the Category and/or Sub-Category fields as a result of the Advanced Email Routing (AER) processing.


For example, if a complaint email is sent to the Customer Service email address, the new complaint case category will be set as Customer Service.

Minor Category is an optional sub-classification for Sub-Categories and can be used to set the teams to send Notifications to.
