How to Whitelist an Andela Email for your personal Gmail inbox:

It’s easy to set things up so that Andela is whitelisted for all future communications. The Gmail whitelist process can be done quickly through Gmail Settings:

1. Click the settings wheel (in the top-right corner of the screen), then select the “See all settings” button from the resulting menu.
   

2. Navigate to the tab labeled “Filtered and Blocked Addresses” to access information about your existing filters.

3. Select “Create a new filter” and enter the emails or domains you want to whitelist in the "From" field.
