Email & Records Management

Turn business correspondence into governed SharePoint records.

theBRIDGE helps users capture email, attachments and Microsoft 365 content, process documents, apply metadata and keep the resulting SharePoint record connected to the work that created it.

Business Correspondence

Important records often begin as ordinary email.

Email Capture

File correspondence directly from Outlook.

  • Save email from Outlook
  • Preserve message context
  • File to configured SharePoint workspace
  • Choose or resolve destination
  • Associate with Work Item
  • Retain processing history

File email directly into SharePoint using drag and drop, with metadata completion when required. See drag and drop in Outlook

Attachment Processing

Process the documents that arrive with the email.

Users can process email attachments as part of the same correspondence workflow rather than treating them as separate downloaded files.

Built-in PDF Conversion

Standardise correspondence before it becomes the record.

Process & File

Compose & Send

theBRIDGE includes its own embedded conversion service for transforming supported email and document content into PDF as part of the filing workflow.

One Process

Combine document processing and filing instead of treating them as separate tasks.

Governed Destination

Put the record into the right SharePoint context.

Workspaces and destinations are configured centrally so users file into the correct SharePoint location without browsing manually.

Email Context → Metadata

Use correspondence context to help describe the record.

theBRIDGE can use configured email properties and workflow context to populate SharePoint metadata.

Consistent Record Structure

Apply metadata as part of the process.

The Record in Context

Keep the filed record connected to the work that created it.

The filed document is not isolated from the business process around it.

Filing History

Know where correspondence has already been filed.

theBRIDGE records filing activity so users can understand whether selected correspondence has already been processed and where it was stored.

Avoid Duplicate Handling

See when someone has already processed the record.

Compose & Send

Convert Microsoft 365 content before attaching it to an outgoing email.

When composing email through theBRIDGE, supported Microsoft 365 content can be converted to PDF before being attached, helping users send consistent document formats without manual download-and-convert steps.

Outgoing Correspondence

Send the response and update the record in one connected flow.

Send & Process can include sending the email, filing sent correspondence, updating the Work Item, applying metadata and running configured processing — in one action.

Automated Record Handling

Use rules to start processing when matching correspondence arrives.

Repeatable Record Processing

Package multi-step processing into a single reusable action.

Process Traceability

Every action is logged so you can trace the full record lifecycle.

09:14 Rule matched — Correspondence Processing Pack triggered
09:15 Work Item created — WI-4071

Collaborate Without Losing the Record

Discuss correspondence in Teams while the governed record stays in SharePoint.

Work Items can be discussed in Microsoft Teams channels — keeping internal collaboration connected to the governed correspondence record without duplicating content.

High-Volume Correspondence

Automate intake for shared mailboxes that handle hundreds of messages a day.

What the Final Record Can Look Like

Correspondence, attachments and metadata — together in SharePoint.

Email records management for every team.

Capture every customer enquiry as a governed record with response tracking, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Procurement

Turn supplier correspondence into traceable records linked to contracts and tender documentation.

Convert legal correspondence to PDF and file alongside matter documentation in governed SharePoint sites.

Why It Matters

Structured records, less manual effort.

Less Download & Re-upload

Content moves from Microsoft 365 to SharePoint without landing on a desktop or network share first.

Filing Awareness

See when correspondence has already been processed — reducing duplication and wasted effort.

Connected Context

Link email, documents, Teams discussions and activity logs in a single Work Item — not scattered folders.

Governed Destination

Records land in the SharePoint site, library and folder your organisation has designated — every time.

Turn everyday correspondence into governed Microsoft 365 records.

theBRIDGE helps your team file, convert and track email and documents — without leaving Outlook or switching to a separate records-management application.
