Run a legal intake agent on its own mailbox
Short summary
Legal intake requires careful capture and attorney handoff, not AI freelancing advice. This tutorial builds a dedicated agent mailbox using Nylas Agent Accounts to create an auditable process: the agent gathers facts and routes to attorneys with webhooks, dedup, and conflict-check routing. Includes practical curl and CLI commands for setup.
