How to set up Zoho Auto-Forwarding?

Zoho Mail does this with a filter that forwards matching emails. There are two parts: add and verify the forwarding address, then create the filter. The menu names below may differ slightly depending on your Zoho version.

Step 1: Add and verify the forwarding address

1. Click the gear icon (Settings) in Zoho Mail.
2. Go to Mail Accounts > General > Forwards
3. Under Email Forwarding, enter the address you want to forward to and click Add
4. Enter the email address you want to forward emails to.
5. Get the email address from the Stock Sync email connection feed in the Step 1 Feed Manager's Receive email field, and enter it in the forwarding address.

6. Zoho sends a verification code or link to that address. Open it and confirm. The address has to be verified before filters can use it.

Step 2: Create the filter for specific subjects

1. Go to Settings > Filters > Add Filter.
2. Name the filter, such as "Stock Sync".
3. Under Conditions, choose Subject and contains (or is, starts with, and so on), then type the keyword or phrase.
4. To match several subjects, add more conditions and choose Any (match any one condition) or All (must match every condition). You can also add conditions like From to narrow it down.
5. Under actions, choose Forward to and pick your verified address.
6. Optionally add extra actions, like moving the email to a folder, applying a label, or marking it as read.
7. Save the filter.
