| 🎯 What’s the goal? To redirect all misaddressed emails to your domain to an alternative mailbox. | ⚠️ Why does it matter? It’s not necessarily important. |
| 🏁 What’s the result? Rule added to the G-Suite Gmail setting, which allows all emails to reach you. | ⌚ When do you do this? Ideally as soon as you get G-Suite. |
| ✅ Any special requirements? You need to have a G-Suite setup for your domain (Check our SOP016 and 017). | 🙋♂️Who should do it? Administrator of the G-Suite account for your domain. |
👉 Where this is done: In G-Suite Admin Console.
⏳ How long will this take? about 5 minutes.
In 5 minutes, any email that should reach your organization will be delivered even if misaddressed
Environment setup:
- We recommend that you use Google Chrome browser to navigate the web.
Navigating to Gmail settings within G-Suite
- Go to G-Suite.
- Click on “Admin console” in the upper right corner.
- Log in with your G-Suite account (choose your main administrator account)
- In your Admin Panel click on “Apps”.
- Choose “G Suite” apps.
- Click on “Gmail” on the list.
- Click on “Default routing” or “Advanced Settings”
- Choose “Configure”.
- New window will pop-up. Choose “All recipients” from the dropdown list.
- Scroll down and check the “Add more recipients” box.
Don’t change any other setting – it will allow you to receive a full email
- After checking the “Add more recipients” box a window will pop-up. Click on “Add” in it.
- Enter an email address that you want to receive all emails sent to your domain address. The email must be associated with your G-Suite. It can be your administrator email address or any other user email address. Confirm the recipient address by clicking on “Save”.
- You should see your newly added “Recipient”. Click on “Save”.
- I just added a rule to your Gmail default routing.
The rule you just added will redirect all emails sent to any email address that ended with “@yourdomainname.com” to the designated recipient. That will allow you to receive all email that should reach your organization no matter if there are any mistakes with an email address before “@”.
Now when you set up a Catch-All email you don’t have to worry about any missed clients or potential offers. Any message that is addressed to you will reach “you”!
