Auto-Mail Order: AI-Powered Email to Sales Order Automation for Salesforce
Key Features Built for B2B Order Management
Email Ingestion
Auto-Mail Order connects directly to your Salesforce Email Services to capture every incoming order email — including attachments — automatically and in real time. No manual monitoring required.
AI-Powered OCR Processing
Using Nanonets OCR, the system extracts structured order data from attachments asynchronously. It handles a wide variety of formats, including PDFs, scanned documents, and unstructured email text, turning inconsistent inputs into clean, usable data.
Review & Approval UI
A purpose-built split-screen interface lets your team preview source documents alongside extracted fields. Edits can be made directly before submission, giving you control without slowing down the process.
Intelligent Data Validation
Before any order is created, the system validates all fields — checking required data, verifying product mappings, and enforcing your business rules. This dramatically reduces downstream errors and rework.
Seamless Sales Order Creation
Approved data is instantly converted into Sales Orders and associated Line Items inside Salesforce, fully linked to the relevant Account and Salesperson records.

How Auto-Mail Order Works: From Inbox to Order in Six Simple Steps
Capture
Incoming emails and attachments are automatically ingested using Salesforce Email Services. Nothing slips through. Every order email is captured the moment it arrives.
Extract
AI-powered OCR (using Nanonets) scans the email body and attachments — including PDFs and images — and pulls out structured order data such as product names, quantities, pricing, and customer details.
Validate
Extracted data is automatically checked against your predefined business rules. Required fields are verified. Product codes are mapped. Pricing and customer records are cross-referenced.
Preview
Your team gets a clear, split-screen view showing the original document alongside the extracted data. Everything is visible side by side before any order is created.
Review & Approve
A human approval step ensures full control. Your team can verify, edit, or correct any extracted data before it moves forward. No Sales Order is created without sign-off.
Create
Once approved, Auto-Mail Order instantly generates a Sales Order and Line Items inside Salesforce, linked to the correct Account and Salesperson. Done.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is email to sales order automation?
Email to sales order automation is the process of automatically converting incoming order emails into structured Sales Orders in your CRM or ERP system — without manual data entry. Solutions like Auto-Mail Order use AI and OCR to read emails, extract order details, and create records automatically.
How does OCR work in order processing?
OCR (Optical Character Recognition) technology scans documents — including PDFs and images — and converts visual text into machine-readable, structured data. In order processing, OCR extracts fields like product codes, quantities, and prices from email attachments and makes them available for validation and system entry.
Is Auto-Mail Order compatible with Salesforce?
Yes. Auto-Mail Order is built natively for Salesforce. It uses Salesforce Email Services for email capture and creates Sales Orders, Line Items, and Account links directly within your Salesforce environment — no additional integration layer needed.
Can I review and approve orders before they are created in Salesforce?
Absolutely. Auto-Mail Order includes a built-in human approval workflow. Your team reviews extracted data in a split-screen interface, can make edits, and must approve the order before it is created. This ensures accuracy and keeps your team in control.
What types of email formats does it support?
Auto-Mail Order handles structured and unstructured email formats, including plain text emails, PDF attachments, scanned documents, and spreadsheets. The AI model is designed to extract data regardless of how your customers choose to send their orders.
How does it handle errors or incomplete data?
The system includes intelligent error handling with status tracking and retry mechanisms. If data is missing or validation fails, the order is flagged for review rather than silently failing, so your team can address issues before they affect order fulfillment.
How quickly can Auto-Mail Order be deployed?
Because it integrates natively with Salesforce, deployment is significantly faster than building a custom integration from scratch. Your implementation timeline will depend on your specific configuration and business rules, which our team will assess during your demo.
