The Business Problem

When technical complaints arrive mixed in with other emails, they can be missed, logged inconsistently, or left without a timely reply.

The Solution

Zapier processes incoming Gmail messages, uses AI to identify technical complaints and summarize the issue, logs each concern in a central Google Sheet, and sends an automated acknowledgment to support more consistent communication.
