Email triage cases

An email triage case stores information from a received email including text analysis, attachments, and related users. Email triage cases help track information and resolve problems more quickly reported by customers of a Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant for Email.

Unlike cases, which are instances of a case type, email triage cases have the following characteristics:

  • Email triage cases are intermediary objects that you must manually triage.
  • You do not control the definition of an email triage case like you can for cases because they are not instances of a case type.
  • You do not create an email triage case.

You can view all email triage cases for the Email channel interface by using the Application Explorer. You can also perform triage of email triage cases for Pega Intelligent Virtual Assistant for Email, from the Case Manager portal.
