Forward the government code emails

5 minutes. Use a computer, not the phone app. Sign in to the Gmail account that receives the Revenu Québec / clicSÉQUR emails.

What this does When Revenu Québec emails a login code, Gmail sends a copy to our code box. That's all.

Only emails from Revenu Québec and clicSÉQUR are copied. Everything else stays private.
You keep every email. Nothing is deleted or moved.
You can see the exact emails it matches (step 4) and delete the rule any time (step 6).

1Open all settings

Click the gear ⚙ at the top right, then See all settings.
FR : roue dentée ⚙ → « Voir tous les paramètres »

2Add our code box as a forwarding address

Open the tab Forwarding and POP/IMAP, then click Add a forwarding address.
FR : « Transfert et POP/IMAP » → « Ajouter une adresse de transfert »

Paste this address:

otp@automationvault.co

Click Next → Proceed → OK.

Leave “Disable forwarding” selected on this page. Do not turn on “Forward a copy of incoming mail”. That would send everything. Step 5 sends only the code emails.

3Text Shaw: “forwarder added”

Gmail sends a confirmation email to our code box. We approve it on our side. This takes a few minutes.

You don't need to type any code. Wait for Shaw to reply “approved”, then reload Gmail and go to step 4.

4See exactly what will be forwarded

Paste this into the Gmail search bar at the top and press Enter:

from:(revenuquebec.ca OR clicsequr.gouv.qc.ca OR services.mrq.gouv.qc.ca)

The emails you see are the only type that will be copied to us. Anything not in this list stays in your mailbox only.

5Turn those emails into the forwarding rule

Keep the search from step 4. Click the sliders icon at the right end of the search bar (circled above). Then:

① Click Create filter
② Tick Forward it to and choose otp@automationvault.co
③ Click Create filter
FR : « Créer un filtre » → cocher « Transférer à » → otp@automationvault.co → « Créer un filtre »

Can't tick “Forward it to”, or our address is missing? We haven't approved it yet (step 3). Wait for Shaw's “approved”, reload Gmail, and try again.

Tick only “Forward it to”. Do not tick Delete, Archive or Mark as read.

6Done. Text Shaw: “filter created”

We send a test login code and check that it reaches us. You don't need to do anything else.

To check or remove it later: ⚙ → See all settings → Filters and Blocked Addresses. You see one rule that forwards to otp@automationvault.co. Click delete to stop it at any time.
FR : « Filtres et adresses bloquées » → « supprimer »
