Now you have full control over what reaches your inbox \u2014 and what never gets in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Blocking Rules<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1708\" height=\"1129\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-rules.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40474\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-rules.png 1708w, https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-rules-768x508.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-rules-1536x1015.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-rules-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1708px) 100vw, 1708px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Head to <strong>Settings \u2192 Blocking Rules<\/strong> to set up your blocklist. Three ways to block:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Email Addresses<\/strong> \u2014 Block specific senders by email. Any future messages from that address go straight to spam, never touching your active inbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Domains<\/strong> \u2014 Block an entire domain at once. Add <code>spam.com<\/code> and every address from that domain is blocked automatically. No need to add them one by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Patterns<\/strong> \u2014 For advanced control, use regex or wildcard rules. Block anything matching <code>*newsletter<\/code>, a specific TLD like <code>.xyz<\/code>, or any custom pattern your team needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spam conversations are automatically deleted after 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exceptions<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1168\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-exception.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40475\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-exception.png 1168w, https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-exception-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-exception-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1168px) 100vw, 1168px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Blocked a domain but need to let a specific sender through? Use <strong>Add Exception<\/strong> to whitelist individual emails or entire domains. Anything added here bypasses all blocking rules \u2014 no exceptions to the exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mark as Spam From Any Ticket<\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1134\" height=\"756\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-spam.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40476\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-spam.png 1134w, https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-spam-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/blocking-spam-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1134px) 100vw, 1134px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to visit settings to block someone. Open any conversation, click the options menu, and select <strong>Mark as Spam<\/strong>. ThriveDesk will confirm the action and automatically add that email address to your blocklist. Future messages from that sender go straight to spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unspam is Just as Easy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Made a mistake? Open the spam conversation, click <strong>Mark as Not Spam<\/strong>, and ThriveDesk will offer to move it back to your inbox and remove the contact from your blocklist \u2014 in one step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/help.thrivedesk.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the documentation \u2192<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":40477,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-40473","changelog","type-changelog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/changelog\/40473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/changelog"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/changelog"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thrivedesk.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
