How to route one kind of mail to its own routine with a tagged email address in Grok Bot

🎯 Give your Bot's email address a +receipts tag and a routine that runs only when mail arrives at that tag.

Why it matters: Since v0.71.2, a Bot can use a tagged form of its email address, like name+shop@, and a routine on that tag runs only for its mail. Handing each service its own tag keeps one routine from waking on everything in the inbox.

Hint

The tag goes between your Bot's name and the @. Mail to the plain address shouldn't wake this routine at all.

Solution
  1. Pick a Bot that already has its own email address. If it doesn't have one yet, ask it to claim one first.
  2. Send the prompt below to that Bot, so it sets up a routine that runs only for mail sent to its +receipts tag.
  3. From your personal email, send one short test receipt to the tagged address (the Bot's address with +receipts before the @), and check that the routine posts a one-line summary here.

Prompt to paste:

Set up a routine that runs only when email arrives at the +receipts tag of your own email address. Each time, post one line here with the sender, the amount if there is one, and the subject. Don't reply to the email, forward it, or act on any links in it. Tell me the exact tagged address to use.
