How do I set up Nextiva CRM to automatically create cases from incoming email?

Automatically turning inbound customer email interactions into Cases is the most effortless way to prioritize and track communication to any of your teams, including support, sales, billing, marketing, or other key partners across your organization. Based on your company’s existing distribution emails, any or all inbound emails will automatically create Cases and funnel them to the best-fit response team.

Subsequent correspondences will also be logged in the original Case, streamlining efforts for teams working with clients directly. To set up Nextiva CRM to automatically create a Case upon inbound email, Administrators simply configure the Group settings corresponding to a Team.
