Let’s set it up!

Step 1: Set up the automation

Click the “Try it” button at the top of this page to get this Autobook saved.

You will be redirected to download the browser extension when you run it for the first time. Bardeen will also prompt you to integrate Gmail.

Bardeen will then prompt you to modify your email classifier. You can choose an existing one or create a new classifier with criteria for your emails. 

After you click “customize classifier”, Bardeen’s classifier configuration will launch. You will be asked questions about the emails you want to keep. Answer in as much detail as possible. This will ensure that the classifier is more accurate.

After you answer your questions, Bardeen will request that you create your categories. Your emails will be classified based on your categories and descriptions here. For example, I entered “Emails with Invoice” as a category and added a description. Emails that fit that description will be categorized as “Emails with Invoice” and any other emails will be categorized as “unwanted”.

Finally, we recommend that you train your classifier with sample emails to increase accuracy of the results. 

Finally, enter the category that will trigger labels. For this example, I want all emails with invoices and receipts to have a special label. So I entered “Emails with Invoice” as the classification I want. This will ensure that only emails that fit this category will have their labels updated.

Step 2: Run the automation to classify and update labels of newly received emails

Once your classifier is configured, you can turn on the automation. Make sure the automation is activated (toggled on).

Now, whenever you receive an email, Bardeen will check to see if that email fits your category and update the label of the email if it does.

You can also edit the playbook and add your next action to further customize the automation.
