# Routing rules for folders

A routing rule sends new recordings into a folder automatically, based on where the recording came from and which tag is on the ticket. No manual sorting.

Rules are also how you fill [a private folder](/birdie-docs/security/restrict-recordings-to-specific-members/private-folders.md), so matching recordings can only be opened by the people you added to it.

### Create a rule

1. Go to [Routing Rules for Folder](https://app.birdie.so/settings) in your settings.
2. Click **Add new rule**.
3. Name it.
4. Choose a source, for example Zendesk.
5. Enter a ticket tag.
6. Select the destination folder.
7. Click **Create rule**.

It is active immediately. Create as many as you need, and edit, disable, or delete them at any time.

<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.
