If you have logged into your Notifo account recently, you might have seen an extra field called Push Email listed on the main settings page. Clicking on that field will reveal a cryptic looking email address — something like username-abc123@push.notifo.com. First off, keep this email private. Anything sent to it will automatically send a notification to your Notifo account. You can setup filters in your email account to forward anything triggering those filters to your secret Notifo push email address.
There is a brief setup guide setup here about how to setup filters in GMail to forward any types of emails of which you wish to be notified. If you have used our Google Voice SMS push service, setup is similar. For example, I have setup a GMail filter (this is not just restricted to GMail though -- many email providers let you setup such filters and forward accordingly) that will forward any message from Chad with the word "important" in the title.
This is an early first release of push email and as such the body of the notification only contains the title of the email as well as the sender's name and email address. Just enough for you to know that you got a new important email and can check your email to load it. We may at some point update it to include part of the email body but our goal is not to make Notifo your new place for checking your email but rather a way to get alerted about new important emails based on your filters.
Thoughts? Let us know how you will be using this and what other additions would you like to see with it.
Happy New Year!
