Swiftask connects to your servers via IMAP to monitor your incoming streams. Our AI agents identify emergencies in real time and alert your teams.
Result:
Never miss a critical email again. Drastically reduce your incident response time.
The risk of emails lost in the noise
Critical alerts often arrive in overflowing mailboxes. Between newsletters and non-urgent notifications, a priority client request or a system alert can remain unanswered for hours, creating a major operational risk.
Main negative impacts:
Swiftask uses AI to scan your IMAP streams. As soon as an email matches your emergency criteria (keywords, sentiment, context), Swiftask detects it and triggers an immediate corrective action.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
The classic filtering approach
You use basic filters that move all emails containing 'Urgent' into a folder. Result: thousands of false positives, cluttered folders, and real emergencies that don't contain the word 'Urgent' but are critical.
Swiftask intelligence via IMAP
Swiftask analyzes content, context, and sender. It understands that an email without a specific keyword but expressing client frustration or a system error is an absolute emergency. You are notified immediately, only for what matters.
Setting up your email sentinel in 4 steps
STEP 1 : Connect your IMAP source
Configure your dedicated email inbox IMAP access in Swiftask. The process is secure and guarantees read-only access.
STEP 2 : Define your emergency criteria
Teach your AI agent what constitutes an emergency for your business: keywords, client type, or outage patterns.
STEP 3 : Configure the alert action
Choose how Swiftask should warn you: Slack notification, Teams, SMS, or automatic ticket creation in your support tool.
STEP 4 : Active monitoring
The agent runs continuously. Every incoming email is analyzed in a few milliseconds.
Intelligent detection capabilities
Swiftask analyzes subject and body semantics, sentiment score, sender message recurrence, and historical data.
Each action is contextualized and executed automatically at the right time.
Each Swiftask agent uses a dedicated identity (e.g. agent-imap@swiftask.ai ). You keep full visibility on every action and every sent message.
Key takeaway: The agent automates repetitive decisions and leaves high-value actions to your teams.
