Email technology took a slight leap forward this week, thanks to a third-party developer. 

João Dias, developer of the “Auto” series of apps that rely on Tasker, has created an app that observers say enhances Gmail notifications on Android, per reports.   

“Notifications on Android are pretty much the best you can find today, but they’re not perfect, writes 9to5 Google.

With the new AutoNotification, users can add “up to 14 different buttons to a Gmail notification with up to 5 being active at any one time,” App Informers reports. They can sort emails and apps into different folders.

It is not yet clear what this means for marketers. But it presumably could allow consumers to sort—and dump—their incoming promotional messages more easily than they do now.

Bias notes in a blog post: “Your notifications will now also be grouped by email account, so it’s easier to manage your notifications.”
