π― Whatβs the goal? To redirect all misaddressed emails to your domain to an alternative mailbox. | β οΈ Why does it matter? Itβs not necessarily important. |
π Whatβs the result? Rule added to the G-Suite Gmail setting, which allows all emails to reach you. | β When do you do this? Ideally as soon as you get G-Suite. |
β
Any special requirements? You need to have a G-Suite setup for your domain (Check our SOP016 and 017). | πββοΈWho should do it? Administrator of the G-Suite account for your domain. |
π Where this is done: In G-Suite Admin Console.
β³ 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 βAdmin consoleβ in the upper right corner.
- Log in with your G-Suite account (choose your main administrator account)
- In your Admin Panel click on βAppsβ.
- Choose βG Suiteβ apps.
- Click on βGmailβ on the list.
- Click on βDefault routingβ or βAdvanced Settingsβ
- Choose βConfigureβ.
- New window will pop-up. Choose βAll recipientsβ from the dropdown list.
- Scroll down and check the βAdd more recipientsβ box.
Donβt change any other setting - it will allow you to receive a full email
- After checking the βAdd more recipientsβ box a window will pop-up. Click on βAddβ 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 βSaveβ.
- You should see your newly added βRecipientβ. Click on βSaveβ.
- I just added a rule to your Gmail default routing.Β
The rule you just added will redirect all emails sent to any email address that ended with β@yourdomainname.comβ 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 β@β.
Now when you set up a Catch-All email you donβt have to worry about any missed clients or potential offers. Any message that is addressed to you will reach βyouβ!
