Cloudflare Email Routing

What it does

This skill allows you to manage email routing rules directly within your Cloudflare account. It enables you to forward, discard, or redirect emails based on sender, recipient, subject line, and other criteria. This provides granular control over inbound email flow, enhancing security and efficiency.

When to use it

• Filtering Spam: Automatically discard unwanted emails based on specific patterns in the sender's address or email content.
• Forwarding Important Emails: Route critical emails from VIP clients directly to a designated inbox for immediate attention.
• Redirecting Email Domains: Redirect all mail sent to an old domain to a new, active domain.
• Managing Newsletter Subscriptions: Automatically discard subscription requests or forward them to a dedicated processing system.

Key capabilities

• Email forwarding
• Email discarding
• Rule-based routing (sender, recipient, subject)
• Cloudflare account integration

Example prompts

• "Create a rule to forward all emails from '[email protected]' to '[email protected]'."
• "Discard any email with the subject line 'URGENT!'"
• “Redirect all mail sent to ‘olddomain.com’ to ‘newdomain.com’.”

Tips & gotchas

• Requires an active Cloudflare account and appropriate permissions to manage DNS records and email routing settings.
• Be cautious when creating discard rules, as they can permanently delete emails. Always test new rules thoroughly before implementing them widely.
