Trash

Overview

This Action sends flagged messages to the trash folder of a mailbox and removes associated calendar events from calendar. It can be used automatically via Rules, manually in the dashboard, or via API.

In Google Workspace, trashed messages are moved to the Trash folder.

In Microsoft 365, trashed messages are moved to the Recoverable Items folder.

How to add Auto-trash to Rules

1. Click "Detection Rules" or “Automations” in the left nav of your Dashboard
2. Click on the Rule you wish to add the action to, opening the detail view for this Rule
3. Click "Edit" in the top right of this detail view
4. Click the "Actions" dropdown and select your Auto-trash Action
5. Click "Save Rule"

How Trash works with calendar events

Any calendar events associated with a message are also removed when the Action is applied. When a message is restored, its associated calendar events are recreated as placeholder events.

These placeholder events direct the end user to the original invite for full details and RSVP, ensuring they always reference the most up-to-date event information.

Placeholder events do not include the original invitees or organizer. This prevents duplicate or outdated events from being sent to attendees or conflicting with changes made to the original meeting.
