Handling an inbox full of emails from various sources is not easy if you do not have control over it. Gmail’s filters are fantastic when they can sort and arrange your emails so that they label, archive, or even delete messages according to some criteria. Configuring filters for every email in the mailbox manually is pretty time-consuming; you can easily make prompts in ChatGPT to configure filters in Gmail for several email addresses. This tutorial is then followed by using ChatGPT to create effective Gmail filters for multiple senders to help streamline and manage your emails.
Prompt for ChatGPT:
“Create a Gmail filter rule that filters the messages sent from the following email addresses: [list email addresses separated by commas]. The rule should archive all those messages automatically and label them with ‘[Label Name]’. Explain how to make such a filter in Gmail.”
How to Set Up Gmail Filters Using Multiple Email Addresses
- List Email Addresses: Gather all the email addresses you want to filter. You can include them as comma-separated values in the prompt so that it becomes easy for ChatGPT to come up with the filter criteria for multiple senders.
- Define Filter Actions: Describe actions such as marking or archiving. The previous example prompt sends the emails from the listed addresses to the labeling and archiving process so that your mailbox remains clean without losing the important messages.
Copy and Paste the Filter in Gmail:
- Open your Gmail account and then click the gear icon on the top right.
- Click Filters and Blocked Addresses. Then, click on Create a new filter.
- Copy the list of email addresses from ChatGPT into the From field.
- Label to apply, for example, “Skip the Inbox” or archive it, and Apply the label.
