What it does

Turns free-text maintenance emails into structured, routed work orders. Every inbound request lands as a Trello card on the correct vendor board list (plumbing, electrical, HVAC, general), tagged with priority, and the sender gets an automatic acknowledgement with a tracking reference.

When to use it

Use it when tenants or staff email a shared facilities address and someone is manually copy-pasting those into a tracker. Best for property managers running vendor dispatch out of Trello who want consistent classification and instant tenant acknowledgement.

How it works

  1. 1A new email arriving in the facilities Gmail inbox triggers the run.
  2. 2An AI step reads the subject and body, extracts the trade category, a one-line problem summary, and an urgency level (emergency / standard / low).
  3. 3A branch routes the request to the matching Trello list by trade, and emergencies get a red label.
  4. 4A Trello card is created with the summary, sender, and location in the description.
  5. 5The tenant receives a Gmail reply confirming the request with the new card ID as a ticket number.
