Are your emails overwhelming you?Today’s email clientslike Gmail are trying hard to help. Google’s filtering tech is good, siphoning off less important emails into social or promotional tabs. you may also instantly flag an email as spam to help your Gmail account recognize when something is a problem.
However, if those capabilities don’t keep up with your issues or cause additional problems, you may need a more in-depth solution. That’s where email rules come in. Email rules are commands you set for how email platforms treat certain messages. Gmail allows you to set these up, and we show you how to do it.
How to create rules (also called Gmail Filters) in Gmail
In Gmail, rules are known as filters and are easy to implement (especially compared to options like Outlook). To filter emails, you only need your Gmail login, which is the same as your Google Account. We suggest doing this on acomputer like a Chromebook, where you have access to a keyboard, which makes these steps easier.
Fast-filter with a specific email
You also have the option to create an immediate filter based on a specific message. This can save time during a busy workday, so learning how to do it is a great idea.
Go forth and filter your emails!
Now, you may quickly create email rules and apply filters whenever you want. These filters can be exported to other email accounts on platforms like Apple Mail, Microsoft Outlook, and more. Remember to be exact in the addresses and phrases you filter so that you don’t cast too wide a net, and the rest will be a breeze.
If you want to take your email organization to the next level,create labels to organize your Gmail messagesinto sections based on their importance. This pairs well with great filtering habits.
