Save 10-15 hours per week on manual email processing and threat analysis
Cost Savings
Reduce operational costs by $3,000-$5,000 monthly through automated email management
Key Benefits
- ✓Automatically scan and analyze incoming emails for potential security threats
- ✓Reduce manual email processing time by implementing intelligent routing
- ✓Enable real-time threat detection and incident response workflows
- ✓Create dynamic email handling based on sophisticated conditional logic
- ✓Integrate multiple enterprise security and communication platforms seamlessly
How It Works
The workflow begins with an IMAP email trigger that automatically reads incoming messages. Using integrated nodes like TheHive and Cortex, the system performs advanced threat analysis and security screening. Conditional logic nodes then determine the appropriate action: routing critical messages, flagging potential security incidents, or executing predefined response protocols. A wait node can introduce strategic delays, while error handling ensures no critical communication falls through the cracks.
Industry Applications
Healthcare
