# Routing rules for folders

Routing Rules let you automatically send new screen recordings into the right folder — based on where the video comes from and what tags are attached to the ticket.&#x20;

It’s a simple way to keep your workspace organized without having to move videos manually, or to route videos to **private access folders**, so only specific agents can access recordings from certain customers.

### How to create a new Routing rule?

To get started, [go to the “Folder Rules” section in your settings](https://app.birdie.so/settings) and click **Add New Rule**. Give the rule a name, choose a source (eg. Zendesk), enter a ticket tag, and select the destination folder. Then click **Create Rule** to activate it.

You can create as many rules as needed to match how your team works.&#x20;

<summary>👉 <strong>Rules only apply to new incoming recordings.</strong></summary>

Any video that was created before the rule existed won’t be moved automatically. If you want to organize older videos, you’ll need to move them manually from your library.

<summary>👉 <strong>Rules are applied in the order they appear in your settings.</strong></summary>

If more than one rule applies to a video, the one that comes later in the list will override the earlier one.\
For example, if Rule 1 sends a video to Folder A, but Rule 5 also matches and sends it to Folder B, the video will end up in **Folder B**, because Rule 5 was applied after Rule 1.

You can edit, toggle, or delete rules at any time. Changes will only affect future videos.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.birdie.so/birdie-docs/request-screen-recordings/misc./routing-rules-for-folders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
