Customizable Email Filters w/ Alerts in IOS8?

Hi, I have an iphone5s which I bought after I lost my BB10 powered Z10.  On the Z10, there was an app that let me customize alerts according to filters I could set, either according to email address of the incoming email, or things like text strings found in the body or subject.  To some degree you could do this in the OS as it came.
I have an online business for which I need to know about specific communications during the day, but don't want to be distracted by all of them.  For example, one email account might receive messages with "contact form" in the subject from my "info@[mywebsite]", and I want to hear a specific alert for this.  Another address receives two forms of communication from a specific email address (the payment gateway).  One is the daily settlement report.  The other is whenever a transaction fails. I want to play different alerts according to the text in the email -- ie, does it contain "settlement report" or does it contain "transaction failed"-- and play different alerts depending on the situation.  I also have a few customers who are volunteering to be "testers" who send feedback and others who are special cases for whom I often need to review their orders before they get filled by some other people.  I need to intercept these.. if only I could play an alert according to the text "order #" for example, or a regular expression in general.
I'm really surprised that in 2014 I could not find a way to do this in IOS7 and I'm hoping that Apple will start adding feature conducive to business. I can't imagine holding out any longer when I upgrade in a few months.  Apple if you're listening, what wins me over are features and the ability to customize.  These are so easy to implement, why not just do it?  I'm such a low-hanging-fruit easy sale if you would just copy what's been done already on BB and Android. Please support filtering according to regular expression filter syntax

This is a user-to-user support forum and not the best way to give a request or suggestion to Apple. You may want to make the suggestion at: https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • Customizable Email Filters w/ Alerts - App Failure!

    Does this make the iPhone almost useless to anyone else? I would expect after the amount of time that the iPhone has been out that the developers would have added some sort of feature to create custom alerts for emails using filters.
    I work for a large corporation and use my phone as a pager to wake me up when I get certain emails or pages.
    I recently purchased an iPhone to use as my work phone only to find that there is no way to do this other than an app like MailTones which requires that you forward your emails through their server which I do not feel comfortable doing. This should be a built in feature!
    Does anyone know if this is going to be added, or if it is even being considered for the future?

    You are correct that I should have checked into it a bit more and there are various ways around it that I can use such as setting alerts to all of the messages in my inbox to wake me up but that will wake me more than I would like.
    There are others in our company using their iPhone as their work phone/pager and it works for them but I guess our group is more attentive to some of the alerts we get. If I wait long enough, these alerts can turn into a real problem and I will get a call from our Network Operations Center. I would simply like to avoid the NOC ever knowing that there is an issue. We like to fix things before they impact users.
    I for for a major news company. We support the application layer of functionality that is behind everything that gets videos, stories, content, etc... to the public and onto the web or TV.
    We have automated monitoring systems that send us alerts which we filter prior to getting them on the iPhone. So even being able to make one folder alert differently from another would be sufficient.
    I'm sad to hear that we do not have any official apple support on this forum. I was in hopes of hearing from a developer or someone of the like...
    Don't get me wrong, I love the iPhone. I have a Pre as my personal phone and I love them both but it just seems that they would have added this feature by now. Also being able to mark all messages as read seems like a elementary feature that should be included.

  • Email Filters and Sent messages

    Love my new Curve 8310 with AT&T, I'm having a problem with setting up email filters, I tried to set them up with my yahoo account and now I recieve a Yahoo Alert msg that states I got a message from someone that I had already set up a filter for NOT to recieve.  I tried setting up the blackberry email service and it asks me if I recieved a password, which I did not.  How do I do this??
    Also, some of my messages that I thought I sent have not been sent, how do I access my sent msgs?  I went to email options and the sent messages are not supposed to be hidden. 
    If anyone can help me, I would be forever grateful, my phone goes off constantly with useless emails now and it's driving me crazy@!!!!!!!

  • Have problem setting Email alerts for Calendar events. Warning message says I need to set up a card in Contacts with my email. I do but it doesn't recognize it. How do I indicate the email I want alerts sent to?

    The system of setting up email alerts for Calendar events worked fine in Snow Leopard but since I upgraded to Mt. Lion Calendar won't let me set email alerts. When I try, I get an error message saying I need to set up a card in Contacts for my email. I have a card set up in Contacts for both of my email addresses but it doesn't recognize them. Perhaps the name I have on the card doesn't match a name that Calendar is looking for. Calendar doesn't seem to have a way in Preferences or elsewhere to indicate the email I want alerts sent to. Any ideas how I can get this system working again? Thanks for your help.

    You might want to consider starting a new discussion. Since this one is marked solved, less people are likely to look at it. You can link to this one.
    See if another contact is marked as this is my card.

  • Email and SMS Alerts - Solution Manager - PI and EP

    Hi All,
    I am trying to do the below scenario.....But somehow i am lost in the process.
    I have a three system PI landscape and a Solution Manager. I have included the DEV PI in solution manager for CCMS,the CCMS agents are online and it also reflects in RZ20.
    Now the requirement is SOLMAN should send email and sms alerts in below situations which occur in PI system.
    1.The ABAP or JAVA engine goes down.
    2.One of the filesystem crosses certain predefined limit.
    3.Any of the java server node stops working
    4.If any critical job gets cancelled in sm37
    I am looking at steps on how to define the alert categories, auto reaction methods, also the nodes where i have to assign these auto reaction methods.
    I have gone through CCMS documentations, played all sim files and gone through most of the pdf files but i am not able to establish proper steps to do it.
    I am Redhat Linux,Oracle 10g, SOLMAN 7 with PI7
    Can i extend the same for the EP systems also which are pure Java Stack Systems ?
    Also i would like to know if i can send customized alert messages.
    Best Regards
    Raghu

    Hi Juan,
    Thanks for your response.
    I am looking at the MTE classes i.e for the above situations which MTE classes are required.
    Also i have read in some document that we can send the alerts directly to the email IDs and cell numbers without having to mention them in user masters in SU01. Where to mention these ?
    I have my SCOT settings done for email servers.
    The process which i had built up in my mind is all mixed up and i am lost where to do which configuration
    Best Regards

    To add a subject:
    a. Select the subject attribute  from Available Subjects for E-Mail.

    Step 3 Click Apply to save the customized e-mail  subject attributes.
    Note: Other than this you will not be able to customize any thing, User-defined fied option will not work.
    I hope this will help
    Thanks

  • No sound on YouTube or text alerts since ios8

    I get no sound from YouTube when clicking from links in Facebook or emails.
    Text alert tones also stop working randomly and it won't play alert tones in sounds settings. Ring tones are fine and I'm not using custom tones.
    Sure a reboot fixes it temporarily but it stops working again after a few messages.
    Any one else having this trouble?

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting in Microsoft TechNet forums.
    Did it work before? When did this issue begin to occur? If it works before, system restore can be under consideration.
    Please go into Internet Options>Advanced tab scroll down to Multimedia and make sure that "Play sounds in web pages" is check, click Apply/OK.
    If it is already checked, uncheck it, click Apply/OK then go back and recheck it, click Apply/OK.
    Meanwhile, does the sound work in the following website?
    http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/windows-7/videos-tours.aspx
    Meanwhile, it seems you have two output devices, please go to control panel-> sound->under playback tab, set the other device as default to test
    the issue.
    Best Regards

    I m trying to send a email and sms alert to people and it works fine on all systems expect on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india.
    the code i m using is right below,plz have a look and not into the problem as problem is a bit strange.
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
                $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
                $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
                $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
                $headers .= "Importance: High\n";
                // Additional headers
                $headers .= 'From: Rakesh <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

  • Transferring Email Filters and Other Settings to a New BB Device

    I will be upgrading/replacing the BB device of one of my users. He's got a lot of email filters and personal setting preferences (i.e. ring tones, speed dial,etc.) Can I transfer the settings and filters to his new BB?
    I tried transferring it through the BB Desktop Mgr > Device Switch Wizard but it messed up the Messages/Corporate Email. After syncing the device with the BES he got double copy of the emails that are currently in his Inbox.
    Thanks in advance!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can do a Backup of the old, and then a selective restore from the backup to the new device...
    DM > Backup/Restore > Advanced.
    Select only those preference databases you desire (i.e., Address Book preferences, Speed Dial, etc.).

  • Unable to save or edit Email Filters in Comcast Email

    Hi:I found a question on the board about the inability to add or edit email filters in my Comcast email account.  This was dated in May and said that it was going to be sent to the Comcast tech department for a fix.  I am wondering if there has been any progress on this?  I haven't been able to edit, update, or create email filters on my account for about 6-10 months, and I am receiving more and more spam during this period.  I've been using this account for years and am wary of dumping my Comcast account for another, more reliable email provider.  I'd love to find a way to prevent the excessive spam and to create my own filters (again) as I have in the past.  Has there been any progress?
       Thanks,  Bill Brown

    I'm in the same boat.  I'm one of the lucky 53 million people who had their email address stolen in the Home Depot hack last November and now my Comcast inbox is being flooded by spam daily. It almost unusable.  I would have thought that Comcast's own spam filtering would catch these messages, but this is not the case.  I can't correctly create, edit or delete filters.  I either get error messages or an infinite saving... message.  Time to move everything to my gmail account I guess.

  • Email Filtering

    Can someone please help? I just purchased the Blackberry Curve 8330 Smartphone. I am trying to filter my email so I quit getting so many junk mails on my phone. I searched this site and it tells me to highlight an email message, click the menu key, go down to options, then to email filtering. The problem is when I go to menu, then options, the only choices there are general options, email settings, and email reconciliation.I have looked under all these options to see if maybe the email filter option is in there and cannot locate it under any of these options. Could someone please tell me how to filter my email and where I can find the options to do so? Thanks, Debra

    if you are on BES (corporate device), use the Desktop Manager to create the email filters.
    if you are on BIS (personal device), use the BIS webpage of your carrier to create the email filters.
    The search box on top-right of this page is your true friend, and the public Knowledge Base too:

  • Still unable to delete/edit email filters

    Still waiting for a solution for this problem.  Have tried three different browsers, including Firefox, IE and Google Chrome and each time when I try to delete an email filter under the preferences tab, I get an endless spinning blue circle next to "saving" and no delete occurs.  When I try to edit a filter, I get message "cannot save filters".  I spent 90 minutes two days ago with on online chat comcast rep who logged into my account and got the same result.  What is going on???  Thank you.

    Same here, it has been months since I've been able to edit my email filters. I cannot add new filters nor edit existing one. Nobody at XFinity cares to solve the problem.
