In a professional services firm, the shared Outlook mailbox and the website form are the first contact with a client, but whoever has time at that moment checks them. Some emails ask the same thing: business hours, how long a service takes, which documents are needed, whether you work with companies from another city. The rest need a consultant: a complex situation, a request for a proposal, a complaint. When everything sits in one mailbox, standard questions wait alongside serious ones, answers depend on who is replying, and before answering the employee still goes to HubSpot or Pipedrive to see who the client is and what was promised.
The agent reads every new email in the shared Outlook mailbox and every website form message, recognises the topic and urgency, and checks by sender address or company whether the client is already in HubSpot or Pipedrive. It answers standard questions from your service descriptions, FAQ and internal rules, in your tone and from your templates. The reply is sent from the shared mailbox with a note that the assistant answered, and it is logged in the client record in the CRM as an activity. The agent does not answer complex enquiries. It assigns them to the responsible employee by topic or by the record owner in the CRM and passes them on in Outlook or Teams with a summary, the client history from the CRM and a suggested reply draft, which the employee corrects or rewrites. For a new prospect, the agent creates a contact record in HubSpot or Pipedrive with the status "new", which the account manager confirms. Complaints, requests to terminate a contract and emails where the agent is unsure of the topic always go to a person. We deploy the Claude agent through the Anthropic API or Amazon Bedrock in an EU region, connect mail and the form through your Microsoft 365 tenant, and integrate with HubSpot or Pipedrive through an API, file export or an email flow, depending on your plan. Your emails are not used to train the model.
