It sends messages into separate downstream paths for support, invoices/accounting, or a default catch-all branch.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- Configure the EmailConnect webhook URL to point to the n8n webhook trigger and verify.\n- Customize the field mappings in the extract step to match the payload keys sent by EmailConnect, including sender, sender name, recipient, and subject.\n- Define the spam condition in the filter node and configure the alias matching rules in the switch node.\n- Replace the placeholder no-op branch nodes with real actions, such as creating tickets, filing invoices, or notifying a team.\n\n### Customization\n\nAdjust the alias rules to match your organization\u2019s mailbox aliases, and add more switch outputs for additional departments or workflows."
