This workflow automatically sorts your Gmail emails and labels them as spam using Bardeen's AI, keeping your inbox organized.
How to Categorize Email in Gmail
Gmail offers a robust system for organizing your emails, including the use of labels and filters. Labels work similarly to folders but with a twist: you can apply multiple labels to a single email, making it retrievable from various categories. Creating labels is straightforward:
- Go to Gmail and scroll down on the left side, then click More followed by Create new label.
- Name your label and click Create.
To label messages in your inbox:
- Select the messages you want to categorize.
- Click the Labels icon at the top, choose your label, or create a new one.
For automatic categorization, you can set up filters:
- Click the Show search options in the search box at the top.
- Enter your criteria and click Create filter.
- Choose actions like applying a label, then click Create filter.

Spam Filter in Gmail
Gmail's spam filter is designed to automatically detect and move spam emails to the Spam folder. However, you might find legitimate emails in spam or want to ensure certain emails never end up there. Here's how to manage your spam filter effectively:
To mark an email as not spam:
- Go to the Spam folder.
- Select the email and click Not spam at the top.
To prevent emails from being marked as spam:
- Add the sender's email address to your contacts.
- Create a filter where you select Never send it to Spam for emails from specific addresses.
If you need to customize Gmail's default spam filtering:
- Access the Google Admin console if you're an administrator.
- Navigate to Apps > Google Workspace > Gmail > Spam, Phishing and Malware.
- Click Add another rule and set your custom spam filters, such as whitelisting domains or being more aggressive with filtering.
For a more tailored approach, consider using third-party tools like Clean Email to enhance Gmail's spam filter, allowing for more nuanced control over what gets marked as spam.
Remember, regularly reviewing your spam folder and adjusting your filter settings can help ensure important emails always reach your inbox.
