You can specify the filter name, sender, recipient, subject, and whether the email contains or does not contain specific words. 

You will want to select “email contains” and then enter the name of the platform that you get requests from – eg. Email contains “HARO”.

7. In the ‘Then move messages to this folder’ section, select ‘Inbox’ to ensure correct filtering

This will ensure your emails are forwarded to Press Jockey, but are also in your Inbox

And you’ve created your first forward to Press Jockey!
