Scenario
U+ is a major company in the financial industry that wants to improve engagement with customers. U+ has recently opened an email channel where customers can initiate contact for any needs or issues. Issues include administrative emails (for example, an address or email change), transaction disputes, and complaints. Due to the large volume of incoming emails, U+ has decided to use AI and use intelligent email routing to simplify their work.
Currently, only a basic email routing system is in place — all emails are routed to a single department. A human must scan through the email and manually route it to the appropriate department. Also, several entities, such as account numbers and email addresses, are extracted.
In this phase of the implementation, U+ wants to set up automatic routing for two topics. Emails detected as address changes must be routed to the Account Maintenance department, and emails detected as transaction disputes must be routed to the Dispute Transactions department.
Use the following credentials to log in to the exercise system:

Customer Service Application Administrator |

Your assignment consists of the following tasks:
Task 1: Send emails to test current routing rules
As a customer, send two emails to U+. In the first email, you request an address change. In the second email, you dispute a transaction.
Task 2: Verify that the emails are routed to the same queue
As a Customer Service Representative, verify that both emails are routed to the same work queue. Also, notice that the current system can already use text analytics to detect the Account Address Change topic in the email requesting an address change.
Task 3: Add a new topic and configure keywords
As a CS Application Administrator, add a new topic called Dispute Transaction, which is valid when the keywords wrong, invalid, false, credit card, transaction are found.
Task 4: Route emails based on the topic detected
Configure the email interface to route emails to Account Maintenance department when the topic detected is Account Address Change and to route emails to the Transaction Disputes department when the topic detected is Dispute Transaction.
