Email platform with automated contact save

A computing device, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor configured to run an email server on the computing device, wherein the email server processes received emails according to a method that includes:
• analyzing a message received from a sending email client to determine whether the message includes a triggering condition for triggering an automated contact save;
• in response to determining that the message includes the triggering condition for triggering the automated contact save and a sender of the message does not have permission to effectuate the automated contact save, routing the message to a receiving email client installed on a user device without the triggering condition or with a tag to prevent the automated contact save on the user device;
• in response to determining that the message includes the triggering condition for triggering the automated contact save and the message includes a requisite contact information of a sender, saving the requisite contact information in a set of local contacts on the user device;
• and
• in response to determining that the message includes the triggering condition for triggering the automated contact save and the message does not include the requisite contact information of the sender, retrieving the requisite contact information from an identity server and saving the requisite contact information in the set of local contacts on the user device.

An enterprise platform, comprising:

• an email server, wherein the email server is configured to route a message from a first email client to a second email client, and wherein the message is processed according to a method that includes:
• receiving the message from a sender associated with the first email client;
• determining whether the message includes a triggering condition to cause an automated contact save on a device running the second email client and determining whether the sender has permission to effectuate the automated contact save;
• in response to determining that the message includes the triggering condition to cause the automated contact save and the sender has permission to effectuate the automated contact save, routing the message to the second email client with the triggering condition to effectuate the automated contact save on the device;
• and
• in response to determining that the message includes the triggering condition to cause the automated contact save and the sender does not have permission to effectuate the automated contact save, routing the message to the second email client without the triggering condition or with a tag to prevent the automated contact save on the device.
