# Gmail Filter Management Examples
This document provides practical examples of how to use the new Gmail filter functionality in the MCP server.
## Quick Start
After setting up authentication and adding the required scope, you can start creating filters to automate your email management.
## Common Use Cases
### 1. Newsletter Management
Automatically organize newsletters:
```
Template: fromSender
Parameters: senderEmail, labelIds, archive
```
### 2. Work Email Organization
Create filters for work emails from managers and team notifications.
### 3. Automated Filing
Set up filters to automatically file financial emails and support tickets.
### 4. Large Attachment Management
Handle emails with large attachments by applying special labels.
## Best Practices
1. Start Simple: Begin with basic filters using templates
2. Test Criteria: Use search_emails to test filter criteria first
3. Use Labels Strategically: Create logical label hierarchy
4. Review Regularly: Clean up unused filters periodically
5. Combine with Batch Operations: Apply filters retroactively
## Limitations
- Maximum of 1,000 filters per Gmail account
- Only one user-defined label can be added per filter
- Forwarding requires verified destination addresses
- Some system labels cannot be removed
