About 90% of emails I send out in Gmail: 1. Need to be labeled 2. Can be labeled based on a simple filter (e.g. specific "To:" address)
Can I automatically apply labels to send emails when sent; based on filter(s)?
(P.S. I'm aware I can manually assign a label by going to "labels" menu when composing email; as well as filter any unlabeled sent mails and mass-apply the label later. I'm looking for more automated solution).
I created a filter based only on a To: address.
Matches: to:([email protected])
Do this: Apply label "Testing"
When I sent a simple message to that address, the message ended up with the "Testing" label. The only downside would seem to be that the message is automatically marked as "read", I expect because it's a sent message.
So the answer would seem to be Yes, you can create filters that act on messages as you send them.
