Set up Mail forwarding in Gmail

Create a Gmail filter that forwards USCIS and EOIR emails to your ClerqLegal intake address, and every notice is read, matched, and calendared automatically.

Your firm’s ClerqLegal intake address is shared with you during onboarding and looks like example@mg.clerqlegal.com. Keep it handy for the steps below. If you do not have it, email support.

1. Open Gmail settings

   In Gmail, click the gear icon in the top right, then choose See all settings.

   

2. Add the intake address

   Open the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and click Add a forwarding address. Paste your ClerqLegal intake address, then click Next › Proceed › OK. Gmail sends a confirmation email, which arrives in your own inbox within a few minutes. Open it and click the confirmation link, or copy the confirmation code into the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab and click Verify.

   Leave Disable forwarding selected so that only the filter you create next forwards mail, not your entire inbox.

   

3. Create a filter for notice emails

   In the Gmail search bar, click the Show search options icon. In the From field enter eROp@usdoj.gov, then click Create filter.

   

   

4. Forward matching mail to ClerqLegal

   Tick Forward it to and choose your intake address from the dropdown, then click Create filter. Gmail keeps the original in your inbox and sends a copy to ClerqLegal. If the address is not in the dropdown, check that you confirmed it in step 2, then refresh Gmail and try again.
