Set up Gmail forwarding, step by step

One-time setup, lifelong automation: add your Readry address as a forwarding target, then create filters that decide which newsletters flow to your e-reader. About five minutes, screenshots included.

   Click “Add a forwarding address” and enter your personal @readry.com address — you can copy it from your Readry settings.

   
5. 5

   Confirm the verification email

   Gmail sends a verification email to your Readry address — we forward it straight back to your inbox. Open it and confirm the forwarding request.

Part 2: Create forwarding filters

Filters give you precise control: forward everything with an unsubscribe link, just one platform, or only your favorite authors. You can create as many filters as you like.

1. 1

   Create a filter

   In the “Forwarding” section, click “Create a filter”.

   
2. 2

   Choose which emails to forward

   Enter criteria for the newsletters you want on your e-reader — for example, from:(substack.com) — then click “Create filter”.

   
3. 3

   Set the forward action

   Check “Forward it to:” and select your verified Readry address. You can also archive or label the email so it skips your inbox.

   
4. 4

   Save the filter

   Click “Create filter”. From now on, matching newsletters flow to your e-reader automatically.
