## [Create a classifier](#2-create-a-classifier)

Open **Document Classifiers**, create a classifier, and add one route for each document type. Select the matching parser for every route.

## [Check the routes](#5-check-the-routes)

Open the destination parsers and confirm that each attachment reached the correct one.

The workflow is ready. Forward messages manually or use a focused [Outlook rule](/docs/guides/document-processing/email/automatic-forwarding-outlook).

## [If a document is not routed](#if-a-document-is-not-routed)

Feedback

Open it in the classifier, check why it did not match, and improve the relevant route before trying again.
