1. Email Retrieval and Parsing

• Choose a robust email library: Select a well-established email library like nodemailer or mail-parser that provides reliable email retrieval and parsing capabilities.
• Configure email server settings: Ensure you have the correct email server credentials and settings to access the service@exfreight.com mailbox.
• Implement email fetching: Create a function to fetch emails from the mailbox, potentially using filters or criteria to target specific emails.
• Extract relevant data: Parse the fetched emails to extract key information such as email address, domain, subject line, and body content (HTML or plain text).

2. AI Analysis

• Select an AI platform: Choose a reputable AI platform like Google Cloud AI, Amazon Comprehend, or Microsoft Azure AI that offers email analysis and spam detection features.
• Train the AI model: Train your AI model on a comprehensive dataset of labeled emails that represent the various categories you want to classify (e.g., quote requests, booking confirmations, shipment updates, spam). The quality and diversity of your training data will significantly impact the model's accuracy.
• Implement classification and spam detection: Create functions to classify emails into categories and detect spam using the trained AI model.

3. Response and Action Handling

• Define response logic: Establish clear rules and logic for how to respond to different email categories and handle spam. This might involve sending pre-defined responses, dynamically generating responses using AI templates, or filtering spam emails.
• Integrate with Resend API: Use the Resend API to send emails programmatically based on the response logic you've defined.
• Handle actions: Implement actions associated with specific email categories, such as triggering quote generation, booking shipments using the Exfreight API, or updating shipment status.

4. User API Key Management

• Implement user authentication: Set up a secure user authentication system (e.g., username/password, OAuth) to verify user identities.
• Generate API keys: When a user successfully authenticates and requests API access, use the Resend API to create an API key with appropriate permissions based on the user's role or requirements.
• Store API keys securely: Store the generated API keys in a secure manner, such as a database or key management system, and associate them with the corresponding users.
• Enforce access control: Implement access control mechanisms to ensure that users can only perform actions allowed by their API key permissions.

5. Exfreight Communication Automation

• Integrate with Exfreight API: Use the Exfreight V2 API to interact with their services programmatically, retrieving shipment updates, booking confirmations, and generating documents.
• Set up event triggers: Establish triggers for specific events within your TMS or Exfreight API interactions, such as shipment status changes, booking confirmations, or document generation.
• Generate emails: When trigger events occur, use the Resend API to generate and send emails containing relevant information from the Exfreight API responses.
• Personalize content: Consider using AI to personalize email content based on recipient and shipment details, making the communication more relevant and engaging.

Additional Considerations

• Security: Implement robust security measures to protect user API keys, prevent unauthorized access, and ensure data privacy.
• Error handling: Design comprehensive error handling mechanisms to gracefully address potential issues with API calls, AI analysis, or email sending.
• Testing and monitoring: Thoroughly test your automated workflows and monitor their performance to identify and resolve any problems.
• User interface: If applicable, create a user-friendly interface for managing API keys, configuring automation rules, and monitoring the system's activity.

By carefully considering these aspects and implementing the outlined steps, you can create a highly effective and efficient system for automating Exfreight communications using Resend and AI.
