Set up automatic rewards emails
Connect your restaurant rewards using one private forwarding address and one combined Gmail filter.
After setup, matching new restaurant emails can be forwarded to Cravefolio automatically.
Checking your sign-in…
Step 1 — Your private forwarding address
Keep this address private. Only forward restaurant reward messages you want Cravefolio to process. Some email formats and offers may not be recognized yet.
Step 2 — Verify your address with Gmail
- Open Gmail in a desktop browser.
- Go to Settings → See all settings → Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
- Choose Add a forwarding address and paste your private Cravefolio address.
- Confirm Gmail's prompts. Gmail should send a verification message to Cravefolio.
- Click Check for verification below.
- Use the confirmation code or link to complete Gmail's verification. Only proceed if you requested it yourself.
No verification check yet.
Gmail verification received. This is private to your signed-in account. It may expire; request a new confirmation in Gmail if necessary.
Confirmation code:
Step 3 — Copy your combined Gmail filter
Your filter is already prepared for all ten restaurants in the Cravefolio directory.
Eight restaurants use the exact sender addresses supplied for testing. Dunkin' and Domino's use broader provisional domain matching.
Your combined Gmail filter:
Ready to copy.
Step 4 — Activate One-Time Sync
- Click Copy Gmail Filter above.
- Open Gmail and paste the expression into Gmail's main search bar. Run the search and review the matching messages.
- Open Gmail's advanced search options.
- Paste the same complete expression into the Has the words field. Leave the From field empty.
- Click Create filter. Gmail may display a warning about search criteria; review it before continuing.
- Select Forward it to and choose your verified private Cravefolio address.
- Save the filter.
Cravefolio cannot independently confirm whether you completed Gmail's filter setup. The filter applies to matching new incoming emails; it does not automatically import your entire email history.
Open Gmail filter settings ↗Step 5 — Test your connection
After activating your filter, wait for a matching restaurant email or send a supported restaurant rewards message through your forwarding setup.
Then open My rewards to see whether Cravefolio successfully processed it.
Matching and forwarding an email does not guarantee its reward details can be extracted. Additional restaurant email formats will be supported as parsing is tested.

When Cravefolio adds or updates restaurant senders, you can copy the revised filter and update your existing Gmail rule.
Gmail filters cannot be changed remotely by Cravefolio without additional Google authorization.
