Swiftask connects to your email servers via IMAP to extract, structure, and inject your business data into your tools, without human intervention.
Result:
Save hours every day by automating data entry from your incoming emails.
Manual email processing is a productivity killer
Every day, your teams receive dozens of emails containing critical information: invoices, orders, customer requests. Manual copy-pasting is error-prone, slow, and prevents scalability.
Main negative impacts:
Swiftask automates data extraction from your IMAP servers. Our AI agents analyze content, isolate key information, and transmit it instantly to your systems.
BEFORE / AFTER
What changes with Swiftask
Without Swiftask
A team member opens every email, identifies relevant data, opens your CRM or ERP, manually enters the information, and then archives the email. This process takes minutes per message and exhausts your teams.
With Swiftask + IMAP
As soon as an email arrives, Swiftask detects it via IMAP, automatically extracts structured data (name, amount, date, reference), and sends it exactly where you need it. Zero effort, 100% accuracy.
4 steps to automate data extraction
STEP 1 : Configure your IMAP access
Simply connect your mailbox to Swiftask by entering your IMAP parameters. The connection is secure and private.
STEP 2 : Define data to extract
Tell the AI agent which fields to extract (e.g., order number, total amount, customer address) from your typical emails.
STEP 3 : Set data destination
Choose where to send the data: CRM, spreadsheet, database, or project management tool.
STEP 4 : Launch automation
Activate the agent. It now processes every incoming email in real time according to your business rules.
Intelligent extraction capabilities
The AI analyzes the structure, body text, and attachments of emails to identify relevant data, even in varied formats.
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.
