I'm a little neurotic when it comes to email. Everything in my inbox is labelled and color coded so I can easily skim over incoming support for our two services vs regular email.
Google Apps opened the flood gates for businesses who need a powerful mail client and web based tools at virtually no cost. In fact, a vast majority of Tender customers use Google Apps for email.
One really awesome trick that a lot of people tend overlook is the ability to filter Tender emails from a mailing list within Gmail. Every Tender account has a unique mailing list ID that enables Gmail's filtering by mailing list feature. I use it for a quick way to apply labels to Tender discussions.
How to be like me with Gmail and Tender
Step 01
Open any email notification from Tender in Gmail
Step 02
Click on Show Details
Step 03
Click the Filter messages from mailing list link
Step 04
Gmail with automatically pull in the filter for emails on this mailing list. You can set any additional fields for the filter you might desire (I just leave it all as is).
Click Next Step for more options so you can apply a label.
Step 05
Click on Create Filter button (apply to previous Tender emails if you want).
That's it! You'll now have labels applied to all email notifications sent from your Tender account.

This is great! When you know how… I was previously filtering based on link text present in every email. We (Aptfolk) love this. :)
Abe’s not joking. This is awesome.
Thanks! Yeah, it’s kind of a buried feature in both gmail and Tender, but it’s so useful when you know about it.
