The Screener

Decide who can email you by reviewing first-time senders in The Screener. Screen in the people you want to hear from and screen out those you don’t.

On this page:

• Screening a new sender
• Screening out existing contacts
• Viewing Screener History
• Screening an entire domain
• Approving contacts in advance

From your Imbox, click Screen first-time senders to open The Screener.

Screening a new sender

Choose who to hear from by selecting Yes or No for each new sender.

• Yes screens the sender in. Their emails go to your Imbox by default. To choose The Feed or Paper Trail instead, click the arrow beside Yes and select a destination.
• No screens the sender out.

Screening out existing contacts

Screen out a contact if you no longer want to receive their emails.

1. Open the HEY menu and select Contacts
2. Select the contact
3. Click Delivering to beneath their name
4. Select Screened Out

Viewing Screener History

See who you’ve screened in or out in Screener History and change any decisions you’ve made.

1. Click your avatar to open Accounts & Settings
2. Select Screener History

If you change your mind about a sender, you can screen them in or out here. When you screen someone back in, you’ll see any emails they sent within the last 90 days.

Screening an entire domain

Screen all senders from the same domain in or out at once.

1. Open an email from someone at the domain
2. Click the sender’s name to open their contact page
3. Click the @domain button in the upper-left corner
4. Select a screening preference:
   • Automatically screen them to the Imbox
   • Automatically screen them out
   • I’ll screen them individually

Approving contacts in advance

Add someone to your Contacts before their first email so they bypass The Screener. This applies to contacts added manually or imported.

For someone you haven’t added as a contact, share your Speakeasy code. Their first email will bypass The Screener when they include the code in the subject line.
