How to classify Woodpecker Sales Emails with generative AI
As a sales team, you receive a high volume of emails from potential clients. Manually sorting through these emails can be overwhelming and time-consuming. Misclassifying emails can lead to lost opportunities and a negative experience for potential clients. In this post, we’ll show you how to use generative AI to automatically classify Woodpecker sales emails.
What is Text Classification?
Text classification is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that involves using machine learning algorithms to automatically assign one or more predefined categories or labels to a given piece of text. The algorithms typically learn from a training set of labeled text data and use statistical models to identify patterns and features in the text that can be used to classify new, unseen text data.
Text classification is used in a wide range of applications, from spam detection in emails to sentiment analysis in social media posts and reviews. It has become an essential tool for many industries that rely on large amounts of text data, helping to automate tasks and extract valuable insights from the data.

Finding your input data and categories
You first need to identify the data that you want to work with. Here, we are looking at Woodpecker sales emails. You can extract this data using the Woodpecker API, export it in CSV format, query a list of emails from your data warehouse or BI tool, or copy and paste with an example email.
For more information on the Woodpecker API see here: https://woodpecker.co/help/developers/api/
Next, you need to find or create your list of categories for classifying the emails. This might include lead status, product/service of interest, or urgency level.
Common examples of sales email categories include:
- Interested in product/service
- Not interested in product/service
- No response
- Spam
Once you have your data and categories, you can use generative AI to automatically classify your Woodpecker sales emails. This will help you to streamline your sales process, reduce response time, and ensure that emails are routed to the correct sales representative.
