End of the note.

Prerequisites

You are using CRM Business Routing and have installed a routing server.
You have maintained the required address generically (for example, *@Smith.com ) in the CRM System under Interaction Center Administration E-mail Maintain Recipient Distribution . You have entered SAP object instances and BREMAILCIC under New recipient.
You have made the Customizing settings for the Workflow for Incoming E-Mail Handling.

Process Flow

A business partner sends an e-mail to the address of the relevant company, for example, "sales@Smith.com". The Routing Server determines the appropriate processor, for example an Interaction Center agent, and converts the e-mail address to the direct e-mail address of the agent, for example, "Bloggs@Smith.com". The e-mail is forwarded to the CRM System, and appears in the Interaction Center in the relevant agent’s inbox. From here, the agent can call up and handle the e-mail.

Incoming e-mails in the Interaction Center are treated as telephone calls in Business Routing, that is, the agent is informed when an e-mail arrives, and sees the sender’s name in the Call status field.
