Automatically forward carrier emails from Gmail
Create a Gmail filter that forwards only your carriers' « parcel ready » emails to Souk, so your pickup codes show on your orders.
On this page
Souk can show each parcel's pickup code right on the order, with a notification and an Apple Wallet pass. For this, your carriers' « parcel ready » emails need to reach your private Souk address.
With a Gmail filter, only emails from the senders that matter are forwarded: the rest of your inbox stays private.
This feature is included in the Turbo and Business plans.
1. Get your Souk address
- In Souk, open Settings → Pickup codes.
- Tap Enable if the address does not exist yet.
- Copy the address shown. It ends with
@shipping.souk.toand belongs to you only.
Do not share this address. If you think it leaked, tap Generate a new address and update Gmail (see below).
2. Add the address in Gmail
Do this on a computer, at mail.google.com: the Gmail phone app cannot create filters.
- Click the gear at the top right, then See all settings.
- Open the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
- Click Add a forwarding address, paste your Souk address, then Next → Proceed → OK.
- Gmail sends a confirmation to your Souk address. Go back to Settings → Pickup codes in Souk: a Confirm in Gmail button appears (with the confirmation code). Click it and confirm.
- Back in Forwarding and POP/IMAP, keep Disable forwarding selected, then save.
Step 5 matters: if you choose « Forward a copy of incoming mail », Gmail sends all your emails to Souk. The filter from the next step is enough.
3. Create the carrier filter
- In Gmail, click the search options icon at the right of the search bar.
- In the Has the words field, paste this search:
from:(shipping@relay.vinted.com OR noreply@mondialrelay.fr OR pickup.fr) OR (from:no-reply@vinted.com "Vinted Go")
- Click Create filter.
- Tick Forward it to and pick your
@shipping.souk.toaddress. - Click Create filter.
This search covers Mondial Relay, Vinted Go and Chronopost Pickup. For Vinted Go, only emails that mention « Vinted Go » are sent, not every Vinted notification.
Carriers by country
If you buy in another country, add these senders inside the first parentheses, separated by OR:
- Spain (SEUR Pickup):
pickup-services.com - Poland (Orlen Paczka):
orlenpaczka.pl - United Kingdom (Evri, InPost):
evri.com OR inpost.co.uk - Belgium (bpost):
bpost.be
InPost in Spain and DPD Pickup in the Netherlands go through shipping@relay.vinted.com, already included.
Example for the United Kingdom:
from:(shipping@relay.vinted.com OR noreply@mondialrelay.fr OR pickup.fr OR evri.com OR inpost.co.uk) OR (from:no-reply@vinted.com "Vinted Go")
Souk's Settings → Pickup codes page also lists the senders for your country.
4. Check that it works
Gmail only forwards new emails. To test right away, open a recent « parcel ready » email and forward it by hand to your Souk address.
On Settings → Pickup codes, the « Last email received on … » line updates and the code shows on the matching order. If Souk cannot find the order, the code shows under Unmatched codes: pick the order and tap Attach.
Only pickup codes are kept, encrypted. Received emails are deleted once read, including those without a code.
Troubleshooting
- The « Confirm in Gmail » button does not appear: reload the Pickup codes page a few seconds after adding the address in Gmail.
- You generated a new address: the old one stops working. Add the new one in Forwarding and POP/IMAP, then edit the filter (Filters and Blocked Addresses) so it forwards to it.
- Work Gmail (Google Workspace): your administrator may have blocked automatic forwarding. Forward emails by hand instead.
- Other mailbox (Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo…): create a forwarding rule with the same senders, or forward each email by hand from your phone.
