Forward QQ Mail to Phone Call Notifications with Echobell

Set up QQ Mail forwarding rules to send high-priority emails to Echobell and receive phone call notifications. Covers channel setup, templates, conditions, and troubleshooting.

QQ Mail push notifications are easy to miss during calls, deep work, or when your phone is on silent. This guide shows how to forward only high-priority QQ Mail messages to Echobell and have them trigger a call-style alert on your phone.

Relevant docs:

Prerequisites

  • Echobell installed (App Store)
  • Access to QQ Mail settings

Step 1 — Create a channel for QQ urgent mail

  1. Open Echobell and create a new channel (e.g. QQ Critical Mail).
  2. Set Notification Type to Calling.
  3. Optionally enable retry in app settings for stronger delivery on critical messages.

See: Notification types

Step 2 — Copy the channel email and configure templates

From the channel detail page, copy the channel-bound email address. QQ Mail will forward to this address.

Keep templates short — call notifications speak this content aloud.

Title template:

[QQ Important Mail] {{subject}}

Body template:

From {{from}}. {{text}}

Variable reference: Templates

Step 3 — Create QQ Mail forwarding rules

In QQ Mail settings, create a filter for high-priority messages:

  • Match by sender (e.g. finance, security, key clients)
  • Match by subject keywords (urgent, invoice, failure, verification)
  • Action: Forward to your Echobell channel email address

First-time verification: When you enable forwarding, QQ Mail sends a verification email. Open that notification in Echobell, tap the top-right link to view the full email body, then click the verification link inside to activate forwarding.

Start with one strict rule. Add more after confirming the first works without noise.

Step 4 — Add Echobell Conditions (optional)

Use Conditions as a secondary filter when QQ Mail rules cannot express the logic you need.

Only notify for a specific sender:

from == "billing@company.com"

Only notify when subject includes "urgent":

subject.toLowerCase().includes("urgent")

Sender and keyword combined:

(from == "security@company.com" || from == "ops@company.com") && subject.toLowerCase().includes("alert")

Reference: Conditions

Privacy note

Filter in QQ Mail first so only necessary emails reach Echobell. If you deploy this for a team, inform users that selected email content is forwarded for notification delivery, in line with your internal policy and local compliance requirements.

Step 5 — Test end to end

  1. Send a test email in QQ Mail that matches your forwarding rule.
  2. Confirm QQ forwards it to your channel email.
  3. Confirm Echobell triggers a call notification.
  4. Adjust templates and filters based on what the call reads out.

Troubleshooting

  • No call received: Check that the subscription type is set to Calling; check iOS notification permissions and Focus mode behavior.
  • Too many calls: Tighten QQ Mail rules first. Add Echobell Conditions only if that's still not enough.
  • Voice content too long: Shorten the template and keep only key fields.

Next steps

  • Create separate channels by topic (finance, security, customers)
  • Use push for routine updates, reserve calls for truly urgent messages
  • Review forwarding rules monthly
