LLM : Analyzing email content for intent

Watch out for

The LLM might misinterpret polite rejection as continued interest so always include explicit negative examples in the prompt.
CRM API rate limits can block updates during high volume periods so implement exponential backoff logic for retries.
Email threading can cause context overflow if you pass full conversation history so truncate older messages before sending to the model.
Ambiguous language like 'maybe later' may not fit standard stages so define a fallback 'needs_review' status in your CRM.
