Step 2: Set up email forwarding in the Gmail client

The Gmail email client allows forwarding emails in two ways:

• Forwarding of all received email messages.
• Forwarding of selected email messages by setting up filters. For example, emails from a specific sender / service or containing the desired word / phrase. This will help filter out mass mailings and avoid wasting time on spam.

How to forward all emails from Gmail

1. Log in to Gmail web client and go to Settings > See all settings.

2. Select the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab > Add a forwarding address.

3.  Paste the address received in Notify.Events into the field and click Next.

4. Gmail will ask you to confirm the forwarding. The system will send a confirmation code to the specified address. You'll find it in the Notify.Events control panel: channel screen > Messages (at the bottom of the screen).

To confirm the address, copy the code from the message and enter it in the required field in the Gmail settings or follow the link provided.

How to forward selected emails from Gmail

1. In the Gmail web client, go to Settings > All settings > Filters and Blocked Addresses. Create a new filter.

2. Set the conditions you want and click Create filter.

3. Check the Forward it to box and paste the address received in Notify.Events into the address field. Create the filter.

4. If you haven't verified your address yet, Gmail will ask you to do this. Look for the verification code email in the Notify.Events control panel: channel screen > Messages (at the bottom of the screen).

Step 3: Connect the recipient service in Notify.Events

To start getting instant notifications of new Gmail emails, complete the setup process by enabling recipient services. See how to connect a recipient in the Help article How to get your first notification?.
