Gmail Quick-Add Button to Add Emails to Existing (or New) Rules

Feature Request

It would be extremely useful to have a Gmail button or shortcut that allows users to quickly add an email to an existing Snoooz rule — without leaving Gmail or opening the Snoooz dashboard.

Problem:
Currently, if I want to add an email from Gmail to an existing Snoooz rule, I have to:

  1. Leave Gmail

  2. Open Snoooz

  3. Find the existing rule

  4. Manually add or recreate the email parameters

This interrupts the workflow and makes rule management slower and less intuitive.

Proposed Solution:
Add an “Add to Snoooz Rule” button within Gmail (for example, in the toolbar or the Snoooz extension popup). When clicked, it could:

  • Let me choose an existing rule to attach the email to, or

  • Quickly create a new rule from that email

Because the email already includes key data — like subject, sender, and recipient — that information could automatically populate the rule fields.

Additional Idea:
Allow AI to analyze the email’s content and suggest relevant rule parameters automatically. For example, it could detect recurring subjects, senders, or keywords and propose a rule draft for quick confirmation.

Why This Matters:

  • Keeps users within their natural Gmail workflow

  • Makes rule creation and editing much faster

  • Reduces context switching between Gmail and Snoooz

  • Strengthens the integration between Snoooz and the email experience

    Oh my gosh, this would be SUCH a critical feature for me! Right now, my method is to add emails that are not filtered the way I want to a “Need to Categorize” folder, and then try to update the rules in Snoooz whenever I can force myself to do it (because it’s not a fun task). Being able to do it in the inbox would make it SO much better and more likely that it would actually get done in the moment, which will keep my inbox cleaner
