The email naming convention tool can be used to specify the structure of the mailing names. You can set these at a project, or organisation level in your account. If you do not have access to this on your account you can get in touch with your Customer Success Manager.

Creating a mailing using a naming convention:

1. If you are creating a new project you will see the option to select a naming convention\
   Select the naming convention from the dropdown
2. After creating a new project or mailing when you select the text field for mailing name you will see:

* A dropdown with the suggested naming conventions if a dropdown is the first field added in your naming conventions settings

* or placeholder text inside the text box showing you what to enter as set out in the text field added in your naming conventions settings

3\. The separator is automatically added when the dropdown option is selected or the text is entered and meets the requirements\
4\. You will see a green tick when the name is successfully entered

5\. Admin users will see a lock icon beside the mailing name text field\
This allows admin users to overwrite the mailing name convention requirements if needed.&#x20;

6\. When exporting from Taxi you can set the mailing name to be set on the export page\
This means on the export page the mailing name text box will not be editable. If you would like this available on your account you can get in touch with us through the chat option.\

## 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.bird.com/taxi/projects-mailings-and-versions/mailing-name-conventions/using-mailing-name-conventions.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.
