Frequently asked questions
Can I route by enquiry type?
Yes — capture the topic field and add an `If`/`Switch` before Step 3 to send tailored copy (sales vs support vs careers).
Will it look automated?
Only if you let it. Write the Gmail copy like a real person would, use the submitter's name, and set honest expectations — it reads as attentive, not robotic.
