Sorthis

Property Inbox Workflow Automation

PILOT-FRIENDLY INBOX WORKFLOW FOR PROPERTY TEAMS

A more controlled inbox workflow for lettings and property management teams.

Sorthis is built initially for UK lettings and property management teams handling operational email across Gmail and Outlook / Microsoft 365.

It adds a more consistent first-pass workflow around the inbox your team already uses — helping with triage, routing, review handling, and draft preparation on suitable paths.

It is intentionally not a full property management platform. It is designed to improve inbox handling carefully, while keeping staff judgement in place where it matters.

Pilot-friendly. No auto-send. Human review stays in place. No major systems change required.

Fits your current inbox setup

Supports shared inbox workflows on Gmail and Outlook / Microsoft 365 without requiring a new operating platform.

Selective drafts

Draft replies are created only on suitable low-risk paths under the current pilot rules.

Auditable

Audit logging and processed-message checks support traceability and duplicate protection.

What Happens In Practice

A controlled first-pass workflow around the inbox your team already uses.

01

New email arrives

A new message enters the workflow and is normalised into a consistent format for handling.

02

The workflow triages it

Category, priority, summary, key facts, missing information, and review flags are assigned under the current workflow rules.

03

It is routed safely

Labels or categories are applied for routing and review. Suitable low-risk cases can receive a draft reply.

04

It is logged

The result is recorded against the source message ID for a simple audit trail.

Typical Example

What happens to a maintenance email.

Inbound email

"Hi, the boiler has stopped working at the flat and there is no hot water. Please can someone call me today?"

Workflow handling

  • The message is triaged as a maintenance issue under the current workflow rules.
  • Priority and review handling are set based on the triage result.
  • Labels or categories can route it for review or priority handling.
  • If it is not on an approved safe-draft path, no draft reply is created.
  • The handling result is logged for traceability.

Safeguards

Structured to support operations without removing judgement.

Review gating

Drafts are not created for review-required, high-priority, complaint, or excluded cases.

Duplicate protection

Processed-message checks help prevent repeat handling when messages are retried or rerun.

Inbox routing

Routing and review stay visible in the team's existing inbox setup.

Audit trail

Each processed message is logged against its source message ID for traceability.

Scope

What the current pilot includes — and what it does not.

Included in the current pilot

  • Inbox triage workflow in n8n
  • AI-assisted categorisation and routing
  • Selective draft creation for suitable cases
  • Inbox labels or categories for review and handling
  • Audit logging and operational visibility

Not positioned as

  • A full property management platform
  • A replacement for human review on sensitive cases
  • A fully autonomous inbox agent
  • A product making guaranteed savings or performance claims

Client Inputs

What the client needs to provide.

  • Access to the mailbox used for operational email
  • The agreed audit log destination
  • Agreement on which message types should stay fully manual
  • Confirmation of labels or categories for review and routing
  • A few representative inbox examples for safe testing

Fit

Who this pilot fits best.

  • UK lettings and property management teams
  • Teams already handling operational email in shared inboxes
  • Teams that want a stronger triage layer around a shared inbox
  • Teams open to a controlled pilot rather than a broad systems change

The pilot starts with a narrow scope, agreed handling rules, and a small set of representative inbox cases.
