Whitelisting Part3

What is Whitelisting?

This is the process of adding an email to an approved sender list, so emails from that sender are never moved to the spam folder. Instead, when a recipient whitelists an email address, they are confirming that they know and trust the sender.

Why Whitelist Part3?

This is important to make sure your internal and external team members receive emails via Part3. The Part3 emails are sent to users based on their email settings in their account. The emails are sent when there are actions on the project or they are included on the distribution list.

Gmail: How to Whitelist Part3?

If your account is managed by a company admin (IT Manager), they can add team@part3.io to the safe list. Read more here this article. 

Step 1: Click the gear icon in Gmail and select "See all settings" from the Quick settings menu.

Step 2: Navigate to "Filters and Blocked Addresses" in the top menu.

Step 3: Select "Create a new filter."

In Gmail, whitelisting an email actually involves creating a filter.

Step 4:  Add a specific email or a whole domain in the "From" field.

The "From" field is where you'll specify what's getting whitelisted. In Gmail, you can specify either a specific email address (e.g. team@part3.io), or you can whitelist a whole domain by omitting everything before the at symbol (e.g. @part3.io).

The former will whitelist one specific email address while the latter whitelist anyone who is sending emails from that domain.

Step 5: Click "Create filter."

From there, you don't need to input any additional information. Simply click the Create filter button at the bottom of the window (next to the blue Search button).

Step 6: Check "Never send it to Spam" in the checkbox.

Clicking the button brings up a new window. Here's where you'll actually specify that what you're doing is whitelisting. In Gmail, you do this by checking the Never send it to spam box.

Doing so will ensure that emails that meet the criteria you specified never end up in Spam or Trash (unless you do so manually).

Step 7: Click the blue "Create filter."

Once this information is specified, you click the "Create filter" button again, and this creates the whitelist within Gmail.
