## Implementing Automated Email Responses in Claude Code

To set up automated email responses for your customer service team at Acme Corp in the retail industry, follow these steps:

1. **Set Up Your Email API**: Use the following snippet to connect to your email service:
   ```python
   import email_api
   email_api.connect('your_api_key')
   ```

2. **Define Response Triggers**: Create a function to identify common queries:
   ```python
   def trigger_response(email):
       if 'return' in email.subject:
           return 'return_policy'
   ```

3. **Craft Responses**: Use templates for common inquiries:
   ```python
   responses = {
       'return_policy': 'Thank you for reaching out! Our return policy allows returns within 30 days...'
   }
   ```

4. **Send Automated Replies**: Implement the sending function:
   ```python
   def send_response(email):
       response = responses[trigger_response(email)]
       email_api.send(email.to, response)
   ```

This setup will help streamline your customer service operations, allowing your team to focus on more complex inquiries.
