  • Choose a rule type (Application, Keyword, or URL).

Manage Multiple Rules

  • Search Rules: Filter by keyword to locate specific entries faster.

Best Practices

  • Keep your rules simple and focused — avoid overlapping keywords.
  • Use Keyword Match for flexible conditions (e.g., “meeting”, “Figma”, “research”).
  • Review your rules periodically to ensure auto-assignment stays accurate as your workflow changes.
