If you have used Spark before, you are likely familiar with how it groups Newsletters and Notifications, freeing up space in your Inbox. Spark can also do the same with any sender you receive emails from - it bundles all emails from the sender into one line, so they don’t take up too much space and are easier to find at any time.
When can it be used?
These are some of the benefits of using this feature:
- Emails you frequently receive from a particular sender are grouped together, keeping your Inbox nice and neat
- You can quickly distinguish emails from a specific sender
- More important emails in your Inbox are easier to access
Some examples include grouping emails from services such as Jira, Monday, Asana, or BambooHR. It can also include responses from a Google Form, invoices, or simply the email addresses of senders you want to keep at hand.
Whenever you would like to easily distinguish a particular sender in your Inbox and don’t want to spend much time searching for them among other notifications, the grouping feature proves useful.
