Email triage is all about creating rules and automating what you can. You'd need to decide: Which emails can be auto-archived? Which senders are VIP? Should you auto-draft replies to common questions? The best approach depends on your email volume and the types of emails you get. Most people benefit from aggressive archiving of newsletters and notifications, keeping decision emails visible. You'd want to establish rules and then refine them over time. Do you want to auto-send replies or just draft them for approval? How much volume are we talking about here?
