Initial Setup:
Before we create a specific filter, we need to turn on forwarding capability.
Go to the email where you receive your PayPal, Venmo, and/or CashApp transaction notifications.
You can check to make sure you receive these notifications by searching “service@paypal.com”, “venmo@venmo.com”, and “cash@square.com” – if you are using the correct email but don’t see notifications, check to make sure you have email notifications enabled for the payment service.
If you use different emails for different services, you will need to follow all the steps in this page for EACH email address.
Enabling Forwarding:
Click the settings wheel in the top right of gmail
Click “See all settings”
On the top, select the tab for “Forwarding and POP/IMAP”
Click “Add a forwarding address”
Enter my email: MakeADifference1127@gmail.com
Wait for me to send you the verification code [this may take up to 24 hours]
Come back to this page & continue once you have the code
Open Gmail -> Click Settings Wheel (top right) -> See All Settings -> Forwarding & POP/IMAP
Enter the code next to my email address and click verify
