Email Parser Exception Inbox for Operations Teams
Review suspect email extraction fields against the source and approve corrected rows before export. Preliminary concept.
A small operations team using email-to-spreadsheet automation needs a place to handle the rows that require judgment. The proposed product sits between extraction and export: a reviewer sees the source message beside its proposed fields, corrects a suspect value and approves what reaches the destination. The target buyer is an operations lead who owns the quality of an intake spreadsheet. The working hypothesis is that exceptions are currently handled through inbox searches, spreadsheet corrections or changes to parsing templates. A correction can become hard to explain when the original message and the edited row are separated.
Built for Small Business Owners, Non-Technical.
Build an exception inbox that accepts a source message and its parsed result, applies explicit checks and routes suspect fields for review. Keep the original value, the corrected value and the review decision linked together.
Weekend scope: about 12 hours.

1. Project Setup
Build Parse Review, an exception inbox for email-to-spreadsheet intake. Use Next.js and TypeScript for the review interface. Use Supabase Auth as the only login and Supabase for owned intake records. Start with fictional pasted messages and imported JSON fields. Create an intake form, an exception queue and a side-by-side review screen. Tables: - intake_items(id, owner_id, source_text, schema_name, state, created_at) - extracted_fields(id, intake_id, field_name, original_value, reviewed_value, rule_result) - review_events(id, intake_id, reviewer_id, decision, note, created_at) Preserve original values and restrict every record to its owner. Do not build: billing, live email connectors, AI extraction, automatic spreadsheet writes or enterprise permissions. Done when: an owner can import a fictional intake item and open its flagged fields for review.
2. Core Feature
Implement the exception review flow in Parse Review. Apply explicit required-field and format rules to the demo intake schema. Display source text beside original and reviewed field values. Require a decision before an intake item becomes exportable. Record corrections and rejections in the review history. Export only approved items as CSV with stable intake identifiers. Done when: a flagged example needs review and its approved export can be traced to the saved decision.
3. Landing Page
Create a landing page for Parse Review aimed at small operations teams. Explain the proposed review step between extraction and spreadsheet export. Show a fictional message, flagged fields and an approved row. Describe the initial pasted-message pilot without promising universal integrations. Store pilot enquiries in a waitlist table using the existing database. Use one call to action: join the intake-review pilot. Done when: a visitor understands the review flow and can submit a pilot enquiry.
4. Branding Package
Use a design or image tool to create a branding package for Parse Review. Make a clear wordmark and an icon connecting a message to an approved row. Use warm neutral surfaces with emerald approval and amber pending accents. Include light and dark assets and compact status-label examples. Keep the marks readable beside dense field tables. Avoid decorative robots and claims of perfect extraction. Done when: the assets work on the exception queue, review screen and application icon.
