# Email parser agent

This AI agent identifies and classifies actionable requests, and routes them to the appropriate workflows to create invoice cases.

## Workflow

The agent can either send the email or save it as a draft.

1.  Based on the context provided, analyze the context and determine the intended action \(either send email or save a draft\).
2.  Analyze the context to determine the type of the email: either New or Reply.
3.  Verify that all required parameters corresponding to the determined action and type are explicitly present in the provided input or current conversation context. For example, recipient information and email sys\_id.
4.  Determine the primary goal and business-appropriate purpose for the email.
5.  Construct the email.
6.  Execute the final action with all inputs.
