Rules

Automation rules

Make repeated mailbox decisions repeatable without handing invisible control to an assistant.

How it works

1

Describe the pattern

Create a rule for the mail you want Avalon to recognize or the recurring action you want prepared.

2

Test old mail

Preview how a rule behaves against existing messages before relying on it for live work.

3

Run with guardrails

Let safe actions run where configured, while sensitive sends, forwards, and external actions stay visible.

Avalon's rule review dialog showing conditions, actions, and external-side-effect warnings before a rule is enabled.
Rules stay inspectable: review their conditions, actions, and any external side effects before enabling them.

Before Avalon

You notice the same senders, requests, and status updates again and again, then handle them manually each time.

After Avalon

Rules can process matching mail, show what they did, and keep risky sends or broad external actions behind approval and policy controls.

What Avalon supports

  • Label, move, archive, mark-read, and draft-preparation actions
  • Rule previews against prior mail
  • Cold-email handling as part of the rules surface
  • Tenant policy checks for higher-risk automation

Important boundaries

  • Provider-specific actions differ; Microsoft folders are not the same as Gmail labels.
  • Avalon should not be described as fully autonomous.
