Next, go to your Gmail settings and navigate to the forwarding section. Add the copied email address as a forwarding address. After confirming the forwarding setup, all incoming emails will be sent to Pabbly Connect for processing.

4. Filtering Emails with Pabbly Connect

Once the trigger is set, it’s time to filter the emails using Pabbly Connect. Add an action step and select ‘Filter by Pabbly’. This feature allows you to specify conditions to filter your emails based on sender or subject.

• Choose the filter type (e.g., equal to, contains).
• Define the email addresses or keywords you want to filter.
• Test the filter to ensure it works correctly.

By setting up these filters, you can automate actions based on specific criteria, such as forwarding emails from certain senders or those containing specific keywords.

5. Automating Actions Based on Filtered Emails

After filtering your emails, you can automate additional actions using Pabbly Connect. This includes saving attachments to Google Drive or notifying team members via messaging apps. Simply add another action step to your workflow.

Choose the desired application for the action, such as Google Drive, and specify the parameters for saving attachments. This automation streamlines your workflow and enhances productivity.
