Setup email filters for Calendar invites
Create an issue on your repo with the following text
### Overview
We need to create a filter that archives meeting cancelation email notifications so that our inbox is more readable
### Action Items
#### Set up the Gmail account with the structure you need
- [ ] Open the Gmail account to create filter(s) in
- [ ] Create the labels you need (see resources for list)
- [ ] Go to the Setting>Filters and Blocked Addresses in your Gmail account by copying [this link](https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=rm&ogbl#settings/filters) into your browser (if this takes you to another email address, use the instructions to get to `Filters and Blocked Addresses` through the settings tab of the email you want to use)
#### Create your filter(s)
- [ ] Click on 'Create a new filter'
- [ ] Next to 'Has the words', enter the desired query (see below for query to use)
- [ ] Check the 'Has attachment box'
- [ ] Click 'Create filter'
- [ ] Check the 'Apply the label' box
- [ ] Choose the appropriate label to automatically sort incoming event response messages
- [ ] Check the 'Skip the Inbox (Archive it)' box to move response messages out of your inbox. (You can still view them later)
- [ ] Check 'Also apply filter to X matching conversations.'
- [ ] Click 'Create filter'
- [ ] Repeat for each filter needed
