Email Rule – Business Overview
Email Rule is used to define simple, business-friendly rules that control how incoming or outgoing emails are handled within Dafater. It helps organizations automate email-related actions so that communication is organized, consistent, and aligned with internal processes.
What Email Rule Is Used For in Business Operations
Email Rule allows businesses to:
- Automatically manage emails based on defined conditions
- Ensure emails reach the right teams or records without manual effort
- Maintain consistency in how customer, vendor, or internal emails are handled
- Reduce the risk of missed or untracked communications
