Gmail question..

[kimblebee]

I know nothing about gmail so I don’t know if this is even possible. Google didn’t turn anything up.

My husband has a gmail account and his paystubs are sent to it, always at like 2 A.M. I am usually up and hate waiting until he wakes up to see it.

Is there a way he can set it up to have those specific emails automatically forwarded to me? He can’t change his email address at work to mine because he gets other emails and needs to see them.

You can forward his email to another email account but I don't think you could send specific emails only.

Thank you!!!

I’ll report back to say if it worked since we all like closure lol

Open a paystub email.

Click the "more" menu



Click "Filter messages like this"

Create a filter using the "from" email address. click "Create Filter"

Check the "forward it to" checkbox. Enter your email address. Click "Create Filter" again.

Bada bing, bada boom!

I don't know how to help except that I have a gmail account that my direct deposit paystubs go to. Nothing else goes to that email. I've had a yahoo account forever & vaguely remember one of the email accounts kept asking for a back up account in case I got 'locked' out of one so I did that and now only have to sign into one or the other & both accounts show up so I can just click on one or the other.

We did set it up according to the instructions posted upthread. We’ll find out in about three hours if it worked. If not, oh well.

I have several emails forwarded this way. I don't need to be alerted when every single email comes in. Only from certain email addresses. So I set filters so these emails get sent to my phone number as text messages. My phone pings when I get a text, so I can then check my email when one of these is sent.

I just have to ask, why do you need to stay up until 2 am to see the husband's paycheck? I would and do just check mine sometime on payday. I can log in to the site (I don't get emails) at midnight or see it posted at 8 am in the bank. I usually check on it at lunchtime.

I was just about to ask the same thing. What's the rush?

I’m a mega planner and I like knowing what budget I have to work with for the following two weeks. His pay is pretty consistent (he’s paid hourly, so there’s variations sometimes) but I still like to know specifics.

The filter did work so I did get the email. It didn’t come through until 4:30 so I was sleeping lol

Thanks @FlightlessDuck

Then that's the time it was sent by your DH's company. Gmail usually forwards emails right away, unless there is a glitch in their system.

Ok? I’m not complaining about the time. I’m glad it worked at all.

I thought maybe you thought it was forwarded from Gmail a couple hours later.

Oh, no. I assumed it was his work that sent it later than usual.

I'm on salary and I calculate my own monthly performance bonus and submit it for approval, so I know as much as I need to about what my pay will be. I practically never look at my pay statements (they show up on a site on our company intranet); can't remember the last time I did and I'm pretty sure I've never seen one of DH's (his company still issues a paper statement).

I don’t usually look at them but we’re in the process of moving, and with that comes a ton of new expenses. I like to know down to the exact dollar amount how much I have to work with.

That same information is available at 8am when he can forward you the email or just tell you the amount...or you can check your bank website to see how much was deposited.
