Never miss a lead in Gmail

Before you start

• Lead e-mails come from hello@beacel.com. Password resets and billing e-mails come from the same address, so the filter also checks the subject: it must contain the words New lead from.
• Use the subject words of the language your lead e-mails come in. Open one of them to see them.
• Gmail writes its button names in the language of your Gmail account. Here they are in English.

Make the filter

1. Open Gmail in a browser on a computer. Filters are made on the web, not in the phone app.
2. At the right end of the search box at the top, click the Show search options icon.
3. In From type hello@beacel.com. In Subject type New lead from. Click Create filter.
4. Tick Star it, Never send it to Spam and Always mark it as important.
5. If you want, tick Apply the label and choose a label, or choose New label and name it, for example Leads.
6. Click Create filter.

Short way: paste this into the search box at the top, then click Show search options and Create filter: from:hello@beacel.com subject:(New lead from)

Check it

Open Alerts in the Beacel dashboard and press Send a test at the top of the tab. The test e-mail should arrive with a star, marked as important.

E-mail can still be slow to notice. For an alert that sounds on your phone at once, add ntfy, Telegram or SMS as well.
