Rivet worker · Shared Inbox Automation Service

Sort the inboxbefore it steals the day.

Incoming messages get sorted, prioritized, and handed off automatically so the team can focus on what matters first.

A strong first project for teams buried in shared inboxes, support channels, or mixed incoming requests.

Before

Where the work gets stuck today.

  1. 01

    Mixed queues

    Support, service, billing, and internal requests land in one pile.

  2. 02

    Manual triage

    People still read and forward the same kinds of messages every day.

  3. 03

    Buried urgency

    Important requests disappear under routine inbox noise.

  4. 04

    Weak ownership

    Work gets assigned by whoever checks first instead of a clear rule.

How the build is accepted

Done means every row passes.

Before we build, we agree a pass/fail checklist with you. You run the tests in your own tools. If a row fails, we fix it at no cost. Here is what a typical checklist looks like for this build.

Example acceptance checklist
ID Requirement Test Expected result
A-01 Messages are sorted into the agreed categories. Send the agreed set of sample messages. Each lands in its expected category.
A-02 Urgent messages surface first. Send a message matching an urgency rule. Owner is alerted within 5 minutes.
A-03 Unclear messages go to review. Send a message that fits no category. Message is placed in the review queue, not forced into a category.
A-04 Nothing is lost. Compare inbox count with the routed count after the test batch. Counts match; every message has a category or review flag.

Example only. Your checklist is written with you and signed before the build starts. How acceptance works →

Questions
How long does this usually take?

Most first inbox setups are live in about a week once we understand the categories, ownership rules, and current tools.

What kinds of inboxes does this work with?

Gmail, Outlook, shared inbox tools, help desks, forms, and Slack channels are all common starting points.

Do we need a new help desk or a new inbox tool?

Usually not. The first build is usually wrapped around the inbox, help desk, or channel you already use.

What happens when the system is unsure?

Messages that do not fit the rules cleanly can be sent to a review queue.

Can we change the categories and owners later?

Yes. The rules can be adjusted as your team changes, without redoing the whole setup.
