Thanks for sharing this video. It was very helpful. I was receiving an error, but now all is well. Not exactly what I didn't do the first time, but this worked like a charm. Thanks!!
Hey Stewart, great video, thanks a lot. Is it possible to answer to a customer mail from the group email instead of the individual mail of the employee answering? So that the customer don't get the "private" mail address of the employee. Thanks
Hi Stewart, thanks for this probably best tutorial that I've seen. I'm looking for 1 setting, that I cannot find: I would like to hide the senders email. I have the exact same situation: Support. Client contacts support@.... Agent responds. I ONLY want the client to see the support@... Address, but not the sender.... Thoughts?
This a great video! I am wondering how other people managed messages within the collaborative inbox, when a conversation is completed and perhaps locked, is there a way to remove the conversations from the main inbox, labels help organize but it doesn’t look like the thread gets removed from the main inbox when you label it, just wondering how other admins handle this! Thanks!
I'm unsure why, but it won't let me access the "Moderation and Advanced settings" at 6:12. When I try to hit either the advanced or moderation settings, a new tab opens and it says forbidden. EDIT: In case someone else is having this issue, I tried using a different Google Chrome Profile since my main profile is signed into the email account that is not from the organization (it was just a normal @gmail email instead of a @mywebsite email). I thought it would be no issue since I did sign into my organization email but for someone reason, the profile thought that I was trying to access those settings from my non-organization email. So if you're having this issue, then try to sign out completely of the Google Chrome Profile, try a guest window or a different browser.
Hi Stewart, is there any way to send an email from the customer support email address instead of an individual's email address? I've set up a Google group and I'm keen to enable emails to be sent from our group's email address rather than an individual's email address.
Thanks for making the video. Google should hire you to make videos. I was able to figure this out with your instructions. One question - Is there a way to delete an email for the whole group? So if 5 people are in the customer support group and one person handles the email, thus now the email can be deleted, can the person who handled the email delete for the whole group? This way the others know the email was addressed.
So, I'm new to google workspace admin console. I'm attempting to create a group mailbox to receive "Out of Organization" emails. I followed your tutorial but I continue to receive a kickback email stating the email address does not exist. Any ideas?
@@StewartGauld You respond to everyone with "i'll look into it" and then here we are 4 months later with no follow up reponse.... this is on almost every comment you respond to.
Hi Stewart, Who is hosting the emails sent to the group's email address? Is it included in the quota of each member separately? I found no description of this anywhere. Thanks
Hello Stewart, if I have added a new group and assigned an owner. Does the owner receive an email allowing them access and controls to the new group email? (i.e - setting up password / login credentials). Thank you for your help.
Ive tried everything an no matter what i do, i cannot email (from my personal email) my group email on workspace, nothing comes through, does anyone know hoe to fix ?
Stewart, great video. I have everything set up correctly (i think) but am confused about why the conversation thread doesn't appear in the groups message unless you 'reply all' to an email. Does that mean any time a team member replies to a customer service message they have to select 'reply all'?? Isn't that just going to make everyone's inbox worse not better with hundreds of 'reply all' messages coming in every day? I feel I must be missing something. :)
@@StewartGauld thank you so much. I have had a separate support@ email created but am hoping groups will solve that for the public interface of customer service.
Hi Stewart. I have just had another go at setting this up. I have used all the settings you suggested except i set the 'default sender' to be the group address as I wanted us to all be able to send external emails from 'support'. When I go to send a reply I can still only send as my own email. Should this automatically be sending from the group email or do all members of the group need to have another email address added to their account in settings? Is this the missing piece? And if so, should I be have the check box for 'alias' ticked? Thanks for you help. I'm so stumped!
Hi Stewart. I did everything the way you said and sent a test message but it shows as a message spam saying i couldn't verify. Is there a reason its doing that?
I can't set "Publish posts" to "External". At 4:30 I see you have publish posts set to "external" but I do not have this option. I only have "Entire Organization" as an option so I cannot receive outside emails. I'm using Business Starter. If anyone has a solution, I would be forever grateful.
@@StewartGauld so I think I figured it out. I attempted to set this all shortly after completing all the DNS and MX record changes as I recently switched from GoDaddy Mail to Google. I think it took some time for everything to propagate before it would allow "external" to be selected. Thanks for the great video, I created an SOP sheet based off your recommendations.
An email group is for a group of people to collaborate through. Alias is just for receiving emails to your primary address by setting up a different alias.
Hello, i found the problem too And the fix to this one is create new profile of google chrome or try in incognito mode with only admin google account signed it It will not give the forbidden error So the problem is you have multiple accounts logged in and the first account which was logged in to it was not admin so it is giving error
I had tried everything to make this work. I think your "allow suspicious messages" setting made the difference. Thanks!
Welcome!
Heya, this was the clearest tutorial I've found!! Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Wonderful instruction on how to use Google Groups!
Thanks Leah!

I’m glad! ☺️
I see you created a video on how to setup 👍👍. But I was looking for a walkthrough on how its used.
Coming soon!
Can we turn existing emails/users to groups so we can access them with different admin users?
Hey Stewart, great video, thanks a lot. Is it possible to answer to a customer mail from the group email instead of the individual mail of the employee answering? So that the customer don't get the "private" mail address of the employee. Thanks
Hey Morel,
Yes you can set this up.
@@StewartGauld I was looking for this as well! Do you have a video on this already?
I have the same question. Do you have a video explaining this in Google Workspace's current build?
He goes through this at 07:05
I'd like to know this and if they can use their own signature when replying...
Thanks this is what I was looking for!
Glad I could help!

Hey!
Hmmm I'll have to look into that.
There is a 403 error when I click on "Advanced Setting" so I can make it a collaborative mailbox. Do you know what's the issue?
Hey Russell,
There could be a few reasons for this. I will ask my team.
@@StewartGauld I am also getting this error.

How can I set up admin console group email so that any member of the group and send an email from the group email address?
Hey!
I'll look at creating a tutorial or article on this.
Can a member choose to send an email outside the group with the “customer support” email address not their individual
Hey!
You can enable the ability too.
This is great, but I cannot find any tutorials about how it works/how to use it once its set up! going crazy over here lol
Will look into this! Thanks!
Thanks for a Great Video! How many members can you have in each group?
Hello Stewart, if I have added a new group and assigned an owner. Does the owner receive an email allowing them access and controls to the new group email? (i.e - setting up password / login credentials). Thank you for your help.

Is Workspace useful for a club membership if there is only one owner? Can I collaborate with our members if they aren't users?

is it possible to send forward email option for group emails?
Yes sure is.
How is that? Just curious

How do I land the emails sent to a group in primary (gmail) instead of Forum?
Hey,
Good question, I will look into this.
what is the difference between Email Groups and Email Alias ?
An email group is for a group of people to collaborate through. Alias is just for receiving emails to your primary address by setting up a different alias.
For some reason it’s not allowing me to go to advanced settings.
Are you sure? What issues are you seeing?
@@StewartGauld error 408 or something can’t access this page
عالی بود
Thanks
Hello, I created the group but when I clicked on advanced settings I got an error page saying I’m not allowed to this page. I’m admin. What do I do?
Hey!
Strange! It will have to do with your settings.
Hello, i found the problem too
And the fix to this one is create new profile of google chrome or try in incognito mode with only admin google account signed it
It will not give the forbidden error
So the problem is you have multiple accounts logged in and the first account which was logged in to it was not admin so it is giving error
@@KaifShaikhTaufiq I hope more people see this as they are scrolling! This is the solution to that awful 403 message :)
Good, thank you, but this doesn't show how to use google groups for support, etc. It's not straightforward.
Thanks David,
We will update this soon.
