Automatically assign a priority:

To set up a trigger, navigate to the 'Manage' dropdown and select the 'Automation' button. 

 

 

 

2) Select the '+ Create Trigger' button to create your trigger, give the trigger a name and select the accounts you want to apply this to for messages in the inbox. You can then customise the rules of the trigger.
