Where can I create and manage rules?

Rules live in Automate > Rules: click Automate in the tab bar and the Rules page opens. Create rule starts a new one, and every rule you have is a row you can switch on or off, run, edit or delete.

You can also start a rule from the menu of a feed, folder or tag, or from an article's menu, with the trigger already filled in.

Read the Rules page

Each row shows the rule's Name, its Type (the trigger, such as New article in feed with the feed's name), Matches today and its Status switch. Matches today counts the articles the rule matched since midnight and shows "100+" above a hundred. Click the number to open the rule's Log, with today's matches and older ones from the last 30 days. Under the list, a usage bar shows how many of your plan's rules you use.

Manage a rule

1. Click a rule's name, or choose Edit rule from its ⋯ menu, to open the editor in place. Cancel takes you back to the list.
2. Use the Status switch to turn a rule off without losing it, and on again later.
3. Click the play button, Run rule, to apply the rule to existing articles. It shows only for rules that are switched on and triggered by the account, a folder or a feed, and it performs the rule's actions, so read what Run rule does first.
4. Choose Delete rule from the ⋯ menu to remove the rule with its conditions, actions and log. Inoreader asks you to confirm.

Start a rule from a feed, folder or tag

Right-click a feed, folder or tag in the sidebar, or open the arrow next to the section title in the header, and choose Create rule. The rule opens with that source as its trigger, locked. From an article's menu, Create rule also fills in the condition Title is the article's title. A new rule's dialog has a Copy existing rule menu that takes one of your rules as the starting point.

Rules are a Pro feature: Pro includes 30, with more as an add-on (how many rules Pro includes), while Free and Supporter accounts see the Rules page with Upgrade to Pro. What are rules? explains the parts of a rule, and Why is my rule not triggering? helps when one stays quiet.
