Peggy works best when it knows what to look for. With Email Rules, you tell Peggy exactly which messages matter - no inbox scanning, no surprises.

Let’s break it down 👇

📩 What Are Email Rules?

Email Rules are filters you create to help Peggy find important updates — like permission slips, game schedules, and school newsletters — without reading your entire inbox.

You decide who or what Peggy should listen to:

  • A specific person (e.g., your coach)

  • A school’s domain (e.g., stlukesct.org)

  • A subject line (e.g., “Weekly Update”)

Privacy-first: Peggy only scans messages you allow. Nothing else.

⚙️ How to Set Up Your First Email Rule

  1. Go to Settings

  2. Tap on Email - Privacy Rules.

  3. Tap the + Add a New Rule button.

  4. Choose the type of rule you want to create (see below).

📘 Which Rule Should I Use?

By Domain
Use when: Messages come from a school or organization
Example: stlukesct.org (no @ symbol)

By Email Address
Use when: You want to track messages from one person
Example: [email protected]

By Subject Line
Use when: The subject stays consistent
Example: “Weekly Classroom Update”

Best Practices for a Perfectly Automated Hub

  • Start with domains: Peggy auto-creates a rule for your selected school. Add others if needed (e.g., after-school apps).

  • Add key individuals: Like coaches or PTA heads

  • Don’t overdo it: Focus on the most important sources.es

  • Double-check for typos: One letter off and the rule won’t work
