Manage your Email with Filters (Gmail)

-Dani Evans

 

Google Support gives great simple directions for setting up Gmail Filters:  

But, I like visuals and thought you might too. 

I am sharing my guide for setting Gmail filters.  Being a Google Workspace company and Google Partner, we use Google Meet exclusively.  I use the record feature frequently for training so that I can refer back if needed.  The Meet recordings are automatically sent to my work email.  While helpful, I end up with several recordings a week in my inbox.  I wanted to create a rule to have those emails go to a place of their own.  

Create a New Filter:

Step 1: Open your Gmail! 

Step 2: Click the down arrow in the “Search mail” box at the top. 

Step 3: Enter what you are searching for.  

• I recommend checking to see if there is a specific sender you wish to isolate or specific phrasing and use the appropriate search field for such.  

 

Step 4:  Now decide how you want to filter the messages.

• I am going to select: Skip the Inbox, Mark as read, Apply the label: Choose Label, and apply filter to matching conversations.

• • Choose label > New label.  Enter New label name and click Create.

• • Choose label > Select from list if you currently have labels.

   

Step 5: Click Create filter. 

• This filter will now sort all of my previous and future Meet recordings under the Meet Recordings Label.

 

To view or edit your filters:

Step 1:  Go to the gear in the upper right-hand corner.

Step 2: Click “See all settings”.

Step 3: Click the “Filters and Blocked Addresses” tab.

• Here you can view your filter list, edit or delete!
