Once done with the setup, click on the ‘Create Filter’ button.
Selecting the Filter Actions
In the final step, you need to select the filter actions. To forward the emails that match the criteria you have set, check the option ‘Forward it to’ and choose the forwarding email address in the drop-down list.
