How to limit Gmail trigger to emails from a specific sender in my inbox only?

M

This post was split from the topic: 

 

thank you that helped and the length was the issue

However, i have another question in regarding to making zap based on a specific sendor from gmail, in my gmail trigger do i put new email or new email matching searching (or anything else) because when i tried the matching searching it would send texts (on whatsapp) even if its an outgoing email if it contains the persons email i want

while i only want to be notified of new emails from a specific sendor in my inbox not anything else

thanks in advance

You’re most welcome ​@Mike Mok—glad I could help! 🤗

Hope you don’t mind by I’ve moved your new question to a new topic since it’s a different to the issue with WhatsApp.

To limit the Zap to only trigger on emails in your inbox that come from a specific sender you’d want to include a in:inbox as an AND condition that ensures it specifically looks at emails in your inbox only. For example:

Can you give that a try and let me know if that does the trick?
