Current situation

Attachments create the same clicks every day

Open, download, rename, move and update a record: this routine repeats across finance, sales and service.

Unknown file types, large files or malicious attachments still require safe handling. Automation must not bypass those controls.

The solution

From the inbox directly into the right business process

The automation checks sender, message and file, classifies the attachment and transfers it with a clear assignment to storage or a business system.

Check file safely

File type, size, protection status and available security scan are considered.

Classify attachment

Document type and business context determine the next process.

Name and assign

File name, customer, case and metadata are set consistently.

Update target system

File and relevant information move to SharePoint, CRM, ERP or ticket.

How the workflow operates

From input to a reviewed result

Every step has a clear trigger, defined data and a traceable handoff. Exceptions are surfaced and routed to people instead of being hidden.

  1. 01

    Receive email

    Sender, subject, message and attachments are considered together.

  2. 02

    Check security

    Approved security controls assess file type and risks.

  3. 03

    Recognise context

    Document, customer and target process are assigned by rule.

  4. 04

    Transfer and log

    File, data and link reach the target system while exceptions remain visible.

Systems & interfaces

Designed for your existing tool landscape

The workflow operates only in explicitly approved inboxes and uses existing security and permission controls.

Additional systems can be connected through available APIs, webhooks, file exports or controlled intermediate storage.

Control & governance

Automation with explicit boundaries

Visible rules

Triggers, required fields, target systems and status changes are documented together before launch.

Exceptions stay with people

Unknown file types, malware warnings, password-protected files and unclear assignments are isolated and sent for review.

Permissions and privacy

Access, logging and retention follow your existing roles and policies.

Implementation

Start small, test real cases, hand over cleanly

We begin with a limited process and real examples. Production scope grows only after rules, exceptions and ownership work reliably.

  • Process workshop and target design
  • Pilot with real cases
  • Acceptance, monitoring and documentation
  • 30 days of post-launch support
Frequently asked questions

What teams want to know before starting

Which systems work with email attachment automation?
Typical connections include Microsoft Outlook, Gmail, SharePoint, OneDrive, CRM, ERP. The decisive factors are a stable interface and one clearly authoritative system.
How long does implementation take?
A tightly scoped pilot is often realistic within two to four weeks. Data quality, permissions and interfaces determine the exact scope.
What happens when data is incomplete or conflicting?
The case does not continue silently. Missing details and conflicts are highlighted and routed to the responsible person with context.
Which tasks deliberately stay with the team?
Unknown file types, malware warnings, password-protected files and unclear assignments are isolated and sent for review.
How can the benefit be measured?
We compare volume, handling time, errors and exceptions before and after the pilot. The example calculator on the page makes its assumptions transparent.

Practical guide

Where email attachment automation creates value in everyday work

The automation checks sender, message and file, classifies the attachment and transfers it with a clear assignment to storage or a business system.

Three concrete operating scenarios to compare with your own process.
01

Process purchase orders

PDF purchase orders are assigned to customer and order and prepared for the ERP process.

02

File completed forms

Completed forms receive a readable name and the correct case link.

03

Pre-sort invoices

Invoice attachments move into accounts payable with sender and intake data.

A strong fit when …

Recurring office tasks follow clear rules, consume small blocks of time every day and should run reliably without replacing existing systems.

  • You handle recurring email attachments using repeatable rules.
  • The intake, target system and accountable business role can be named clearly.
  • Exceptions are allowed to remain visible and move to people deliberately.
