Configuring routing conditions for automatic email handling

You configure routing conditions for an Email channel interface so that the Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant for Email knows how to respond to user emails. Routing conditions allow the Email channel to make an informed decision about how to process the received email content. The Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant can automatically assign the email content as a new interaction case to a user, add it to a work queue, or create a top-level case in the application.
