How to Add an Email Filter/Rule

Go to mail.google.com and sign-in to your account.

Click the gear in the top right of the window.

Then click "See all settings".

Click "Filters and Blocked Addresses".

Near the bottom in the middle, click "Create a new filter".

Here you can enter filters to identify who it's from, who it's to, keywords in the subject, keywords in the body. You can also filter to make sure it doesn't include certain keywords, if it has attachments, and if the attachments are of a certain size. For example, if you do not want to receive any Loomis alert emails, you could include the from "alert@us.loomis.com" and the subject keywords "Safe Connectivity Status". Once you have all of the filters set up, click "Create filter".

On the last screen, you can select options you would like to apply to all emails matching your filters. You can have it skip the inbox, mark as read, star it, apply a label (folder), forward it to another email address, delete it, never mark it as spam, always mark it as important, never mark it as important, and categorize it. For this example, we will skip the inbox so it does not show in our inbox, mark as read so it doesn't show as unread, and apply the label I have set up "Notifications/Loomis". Once you've selected the options, click "Create filter".
