Use a hybrid: enforce deterministic Zapier rules for SLA‑critical and patternable cases (sender, subject, headers) — predictable and cheaper per action. For ambiguous or intent-heavy emails, run a ChatGPT classifier with a confidence threshold and route low-confidence to human triage. Log samples, retrain rules/prompts weekly, and batch classifications to reduce API costs.
