⚡︎ We offering early access to a powerful feature to gather feedback and insights from our community. Share yours with ✉️ support@gmelius.com 

Plans: Growth and above. 

Rules Fundamentals 

Rules are made up of three sections: 

  1. FOR EACH: the trigger event that qualifies a rule to start scanning for the filter conditions
  2. IF: filter conditions that need to exist in order for the rule to run the actions 
  3. THEN: resulting action that occurs from the rule once conditions are met

We'll go through each specific condition within each of the three categories.

⚡︎Rules are specific to a shared mailbox/label and work on all the emails that arrive in that shared mailbox/label.

Trigger Event

The For Each section contains triggering events that will cause Gmelius to start evaluating the conditions of your rule and see if they are met.

List of triggers: 

  • New conversation: A brand new conversation.
  • Customer reply: A customer reply in an existing thread. 
  • Teammate reply: A teammate's reply is sent in an existing thread.
  • New note: An internal note is posted in a conversation. 
  • Conversation assigned to: A conversation is assigned to a teammate.
  • Status change to: A conversation changes status to re-open, pending or closed. 

Filter Conditions

The If section contains the filters you've set that must exist in order for the actions to run. 

List of filters: 

  • Sender email address: Text requirements in the From field, which has the following sub-filters: Is, Contains, Starts with, Ends with.
  • Cc email address: Text requirements in the Cc field, which has the following sub-filters: Is, Contains, Starts with, Ends with
  • Email subject: Text requirements in the conversation subject line, which has the following sub-filters: Is, Contains, Starts with, Ends with. The text that you enter here does not need to be in quotes.
  • Email body: Text requirements in the conversation body, which has the following sub-filters: Is, Contains, Starts with, Ends with. The text that you enter here does not need to be in quotes.
  • Email time:
    • is between: Compares dates and times inside the defined ones
    • is outside: Compares dates and times outside to the defined ones

Using AND type

You are able to create conditions using And types. Using And will require all the listed conditions to be true in order for the rule to take action.

Resulting Actions

The Then section contains the list of actions that will result when all filters are met. 

List of actions:

  • Assign to: Assign conversation to a specific teammate.
