If I already have an email label system, how does Fyxer AI work with it?

Fyxer AI uses its own categorization system to help you stay on top of your inbox. However, if you already have your own rules and folders set up in Gmail or Outlook, here’s how Fyxer AI interacts with them:

Gmail:

Fyxer AI will scan and apply labels to the first 300 emails upon initial connection. These labels (e.g. To Respond, FYI, Marketing) are applied independently of your manually applied labels.

  • If you’ve manually labelled or filed emails already, Fyxer AI may still label them during setup.

  • You can control which categories show in your inbox via your Preferences.

  • Fyxer AI won’t override custom filters or Gmail rules that automatically move emails to folders - those will be skipped.

Outlook:

Fyxer AI only categorizes emails that are in your Inbox or Sent folders.

  • If you have an existing rule that moves emails out of the Inbox, Fyxer AI won’t touch those emails. This means your personal folder system remains intact.

  • Manual folder moves or rules-based filing will be respected.


How to set up email rules:

  • You can opt out of Fyxer AI's labels by setting those emails to “No Label” in Settings > Preferences > Email Rules.

  • Fyxer AI applies one label per email thread for clarity and routing.

  • If you’d like Fyxer AI to skip certain types of emails (e.g. newsletters, HR, finance), set sender/domain/subject rules in your Email Rules dashboard and choose “No Label”.

This setup ensures Fyxer AI enhances your inbox without interfering with your existing workflow.
