Inbox Rules

To help you identify documents in your Dotpost inbox, you can define inbox rules.

These rules will automatically label or "star" documents as they arrive in your inbox.

Create a Rule

To define an inbox rule

In the Rule Editor, you chose what will happen when a new document gets delivered to your inbox.

If you wish to apply label(s) as part of your rule, the label must be created before defining the rule. Labels‍ describes how to create a label.

Setting the match
- by sender - any document delivered from this sender
- by title - add the word(s) that the title will contain
Defining the action
- apply label - this label will be added to your document
  - you can apply multiple labels by adding an action for each label you wish to add
- star document - mark this document as important and so it can be easily selected using the Starred filter

You can have multiple match criteria and multiple actions within one rule.

Once you have defined a rule you can then manage the rules using the following actions

Edit	You can edit a rule via the Edit action.
Apply Now	The Apply Now action will run against your inbox and apply the rule to the existing documents.
Delete	The Delete action removes the rule from the system.
