Frequently asked questions

An email I was expecting went to Cooling Off. How do I get it to my inbox?

Go to your dashboard, find the sender in the Cooling Off tab, and click Approve. Their email will move to your inbox immediately and all future emails from them will arrive normally.

Why didn't Intercept intercept an email from someone I don't know?

Intercept whitelists anyone you've previously sent email to. If someone emailed you from an address that matches a domain you've sent to (e.g. @google.com), they may have been auto-approved. You can search for the sender in your dashboard and adjust their status.

I'm not receiving the sign-in link. What should I do?

Check your spam folder first. The email comes from noreply@useintercept.com — mark it as not spam if it's there. If you still don't receive it after a minute, try again. Sign-in links expire after 15 minutes.

How do I connect a second Gmail™ account?

Go to Settings → Connected Accounts and click "+ Connect". You'll go through the Gmail™ authorization flow for your second account. Both inboxes will be monitored independently.

How do I disconnect Intercept from my Gmail™?

You can revoke Intercept's access at any time by going to myaccount.google.com/permissions, finding Intercept, and clicking Remove Access. This immediately stops all interception. You can also email us and we'll delete your account and all data.

My organization's admin needs to approve Intercept. What do they need to do?

Your admin needs to add Intercept to the approved apps list in Google Admin Console under Security → API Controls → App Access Control. Full instructions are at useintercept.com/enterprise — there's also a copy-paste email template you can send to your IT team.

What does the Inbox Cleanup feature do?

Inbox Cleanup retroactively sorts your existing inbox using the same rules as live interception. Anyone you've replied to stays whitelisted. Everyone else gets moved to your Cooling Off folder — no challenge emails are sent for this batch. Find it under Settings.

Can I customize the challenge email that gets sent to unknown senders?

Yes. Go to Settings → Challenge email. You can choose between a friendly tone, a legal tone (referencing CAN-SPAM), or write your own custom message. Changes apply to all future challenge emails.

Does Intercept read my email content?

No. Intercept only reads the sender address, subject line, and timestamp of incoming emails. Email body content is never accessed, read, or stored.

How do I permanently delete my account and data?

Email hello@useintercept.com with the subject "Delete my account" and we'll remove all your data within 30 days. You should also revoke Gmail™ access at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
