Build an AI-Powered Customer Email Assistant with Power Automate

What if AI could read incoming customer emails, understand the issue, determine the priority, and prepare a response for human review?

I recently built a practical AI + Power Automate workflow for this scenario.

 

The workflow is simple:

Customer Email → Power Automate → AI Analysis → Parse JSON → Excel Log → Human Review → Customer Response

 

The AI analyzes the email subject and body and returns structured information:

  • Category
  • Priority
  • Problem Summary
  • Draft Response

Power Automate then stores the customer request in Excel and sends the AI-generated draft to a human for review before anything is sent to the customer.

The key principle is: AI understands and prepares. Power Automate orchestrates. Humans make the final decision.

 

I documented the complete use case and workflow in my latest newsletter:

I’d love to hear from the community: How are you using AI with Power Automate for email or customer-service automation?
