Smart Email Forwarding Rules: Filter, Route, and Automate

Why Basic Filters Aren't Enough

Gmail filters are great for labels, but weak for complex logic. You can't easily say: "If sender is VIP AND subject contains 'Invoice' AND attachment is PDF -> Forward to Accounting."

With Email Forwarding via MailHook + Webhooks, you can build any logic you want.

How It Works

1. Ingest: MailHook receives the email.
2. Process: Your script/server receives the JSON payload.
3. Forward: Based on your logic, you can trigger an SMTP service (like SendGrid or AWS SES) to forward the email or attachments to the right person.

Example Logic

if (email.from.includes("@vip-client.com") && email.subject.includes("Urgent")) {
  await sendEmail({
    to: "ceo@company.com",
    subject: `Resend: ${email.subject}`,
    body: email.text
  });
}

This flexibility allows you to build custom routing engines for support teams, sales leads, or personal inbox management.
