In this video, I'll show you how to set up a Google account that is just a forward to
another email address.
So this is very helpful if you are working with a team of contractors and you just you
want to send an email maybe to a client or to a vendor.
And so instead of having all of everybody's personal email addresses on there, you can
have a branded domain email address that will just forward to that contractor's email
address.
So it just makes it a little easier for the team if they are working with multiple clients.
They don't have to have a separate email account or separate email account to go and make sure
they go check.
So it actually ends up helping you as a founder in the long run because you don't have to
your team will see more of their emails more often.
So that's how I would think about it.
So you're going to jump into your Google admin here.
And if you need to find it, you can go to any Google site here and just go up to admin.
And what you'll do is you'll click over to the side here.
And under directory, there is a groups feature to click on groups.
And you can actually create a group and then assign an email address to that.
So I'm going to create a group.
Don't worry about the terminology that being a group, it's just a way to have an email
address that then forwards to something else.
So we'll create this demo forward.
And I'm going to just call this like demo.
And then it's going to be at and I can choose which domain I want to use.
And then here, you just want to add the list of email addresses that you want, where you
want that to be forwarded.
So for this case, I'll put my email address there.
But you can do any email address you want.
This doesn't even have to be a Google email address if you want.
And so the other thing you can do here is set this to be multiple people.
So you could have one thing called team at and then your domain, and then just have all
your team members there.
So that way you can just copy or just CC team at your domain, and then just the team will
get it.
Of course, if you want individual ones, you're welcome to do that as well.
So we'll go ahead and hit next.
And then what you want to do is just make sure this is set to public because we want
anyone in the world to be able to hit this email address and it forwards essentially
over to those people.
And then you can say who can join, you can basically let other people join this, you
don't need to do that.
Just say only invited there, and then allow members outside of your organization.
So that's okay.
You can set that on if you want to forward to say a Gmail or to a, sorry, like another
email provider.
So we had to go ahead and get create group.
And that's pretty much it.
So you now have a new forward.
So when I go to team at Anovo, it's now going to forward to a number of different members
as well.
So and I can come back later and change these members if you want.
So that is very helpful.
This also works great if you are a solopreneur, and you want to have maybe some different
email addresses to manage, you can have things like admin at your domain, and then forward
that just to your personal, I mean, to your personal domain email.
So a lot of cool things, you can kind of just have these setups so that you don't have to
think about it too much.
And this is great.
And if anyone ever leaves the team, you can just check on click on one of these and delete
that group.
And so they stopped getting any kind of emails.
So it's a nice way to just sort of firewall everybody, so that if you do need to take
someone out, it's easy to pull them out and they stop getting, you know, all their emails.
The other cool thing about this is that it's totally free.
So there's no payment, you don't have to pay for anything when you do a group.
Whereas if you go to the users, and you set up a bunch of users, you're going to pay on
a per user basis.
So hope this helps you have any questions, you can always reach out to me, thanks.
