Conversation pass
If you're interested in an offer or reply to cold outreach yourself, that one conversation always gets through. New unsolicited offers from the same sender are still checked again.
When someone wants to sell you something and you start talking to them, they shouldn't get stuck in my filter. But that doesn't give them a free pass for everything they send you later. So I open the conversation, not the sender.
What gets a pass
A conversation pass is created in two cases:
- You tap Interested – offer a meeting on an offer submitted through Consent+ (Submitted offers).
- You reply yourself to a sender who came as a provider – with cold outreach, a partnership request, through Consent+, or after I vetted them. It doesn't matter whether you reply from Consent+ or directly in Gmail.
The pass covers exactly that thread. Every further email in it lands in your inbox and is never sorted out. Under Why is this mail here? the email then says: This conversation always gets through. New offers go through Consent+ again.
If the same sender later starts a new, unsolicited offer in a new thread, I check it like any other. If it doesn't fit, I sort it out, and they can submit it through Consent+ again.
Difference from “always allow”
If you reply to someone who didn't come as a provider, such as a new customer, I let them through permanently from then on. For providers I deliberately don't. If you still want to let a provider through completely, choose Always allow in the email (Sender rules). Then their new offers get through without Consent+ too.
A block wins: if you've blocked the sender, a conversation pass doesn't help them. If you do say Interested – offer a meeting to one of their submitted offers, I lift the block.
If something's wrong
An email from a conversation with a pass was sorted out anyway: Actually important. A sender's new offers should always get through: Always allow. Nothing more from them: Block.
