How to Whitelist a domain in Gmail?

1. Go tohttps://mail.google.com/. This is the official website for Gmail.
   Note: that you can't create a filter in the Gmail app. This method needs to be done from the Gmail desktop website.
2. Click the gear icon in Gmail and select "See all settings" from the Quick settings menu.
   
   
   
3. Navigate to "Filters and Blocked Addresses" in the top menu.  
   
   
   
4. Select "Create a new filter."
   In Gmail, whitelisting an email actually involves creating a filter.
   You may need to scroll down to find the "Create a new filter." button   
           
5. Add a whole domain in the "From" field.
   The "From" field is where you'll specify what's getting whitelisted. In Gmail, you can whitelist a whole domain by omitting everything before the at symbol (e.g. @awaken180weightloss.com).
   
   
   
6. Click "Create filter."        
   From there, you don't need to input any additional information. Simply click the Create filter button at the bottom of the window (next to the blue Search button). 
7. Check "Never send it to Spam" in the checkbox.    
   Clicking the button brings up a new window. Here's where you'll actually specify that what you're doing is whitelisting. In Gmail, you do this by checking the Never send it to spam box. Doing so will ensure that emails that meet the criteria you specified never end up in Spam or Trash (unless you do so manually).
