On the Complete plan your workspace has its own forwarding address, for the emails couples write to you themselves. Find it in Settings: in Enquiries and your diary press Business settings, and it is under Emails from couples. Each email sent on to it arrives in Enquiries as a new enquiry, with the email as its message. The date is not read from an email, so open the enquiry, press Edit and add it: your diary is checked when you save.

If couples write to an address only they use, such as an enquiries address, a rule in your email sends those emails on for you and the rest of your inbox stays yours. If everything arrives at one address, forward each enquiry by hand instead, from the address you sign in to I Said Yes with, so the couple becomes the contact and not you.

Keeping the form already on your website? Its emails come from the form, not the couple, so do not forward them. In Business settings, under The form on your own website, press Connect your website, and your website sends each enquiry here as well.

  4. Gmail now sends a code to check the address is yours, and it arrives in I Said Yes. Open Enquiries (or Spam at the foot of the list), find the email from Gmail, copy the number, then type it into Gmail and press Verify. Leave Disable forwarding chosen, so only enquiries go.
