Hey everyone,

We have two domains for our company: xyccompoanyinc.com (primary domain in workspace) and xyzinc.com (alias domain in workspace). We use the shorter domain (xyzinc.com) for marketing materials (business cards, public website, etc) so I'd like to make it such that emails sent show as coming from user@xyzinc.com to match.

I do NOT wish to change the google workspace primary domain, as doing so would affect user login (which I do not want to do because doing so would impact external applications and integrations such as with SSO).

Yes I could create send-as rules for each user, though this is less desirable since it would allow the user to control/affect the 'sender' address and I don't believe there would be any way to impact the sender/from address when a message is sent from a group.

What I'd like to do is create a rule of some sort which would simply rewrite the envelope sender and from domain of outbound messages from user@xyzcompanyinc.com to user@xyzinc.com. I've reviewed settings under Default Routing, Routing, and Compliance, but I cannot seem to figure out any way of accomplishing this.

Any thoughts on how/if this can be accomplished? We're on a Business Standard subscription if that matters at all.

TLDR: I would like all outbound messages to show the "from" domain as an alias domain instead of the primary domain.

Thanks in advance!

We have a Google Workspace subscription and 5 colleagues are logged in the account with their mobiles. 2 step verifitlcation is required for new logins. The problem is that all the mobiles get the login approval request. Is there a way to configure security settings so only the mobile I select receives the approval request. Now, Google sends the request to all logged in mobiles immediately after successfully typing the password.

I have 3 secondary domains that I want to move to a brand new Google Workspace. I am worried that if I unlink those domains from the current GW, that I will lose all of my data.

Or if I disconnect the domains and reconnect them in the new GW, then create the users, will that data still exist?

As the title, I have a personal Google account for Gmail etc, and have had it for a while.

I am now starting my own small freelance business and want to use Google Workspace, going to link the domain for proper email address etc etc.

So - do I create this Workspace in/linked to my personal, or is it done totally separately? And regardless of which is 'better/right', is it even possible to link it to a personal account?

FYI - I know you can add Workspace Individual to a personal account, but that's not what I want as I need to use the custom domain function.

Hi there !

Does anybody know of a tool (free/paid) which supports Google Chat migrations from free Google account to Google Workspace ?

It seems CloudM does the job but afaik it can't be tested without booking a demo with their team.

Thanks !

I am unable to see details of a secondary calendar from a user in my organization, despite Workspace permissions set to “see all details”. Furthermore, the user has not overridden this setting, meaning the calendar should be fully transparent.

However, when I search for the user’s name in the “Meet with” section, only his/her default calendar is visible to me. What’s going on here?

Workspace support is trying to zigzag around the issue and find ways to close the ticket early.

I keep getting the error that Google Cloud Platform service has been disabled, but I have it on for the Group.

I'm told to share this error message with the project admin.

We require employees to set up Gmail accounts using their company email when we give them access to IAP (Used to access GCP VMs). However, one of our employees apparently had already set one up and doesn't recognize the recovery phone number.

I reached out to GCP, where we have paid support and they directed me to Google Workspaces - which we don't have an account. Because we don't have an account with Google Workspaces, the only support they offer is posting to their community, which my first post resulted in "You've reached the limit for posting. Please try again later" - I guess I have a maximum of zero posts I can make per day?

I signed up with Google Cloud Identity and added our domain, thinking that we could take over the rogue account. However, the portal says that we've reached our maximum licenses of one user and cannot add more - even though the website shows that free tier clients are limited to 50.

I'm not sure what else to do. It's foolish to pay for Google Workspaces when we already buy email and services through Azure. However, we need people to be able to have Google accounts so they can have access to our GCP resources - which we pay quite a bit for, including the support that can't help.

I’m running into an issue with my Google workspace email account as I've stopped receiving notifications for emails on my iPhone. I’m using the Gmail app and I have no problems receiving notifications for my personal Gmail account from the same app. This started happening last Friday.

Steps I tried to troubleshoot:

• Restart / Hard reset my iPhone

• Log out and log back into my account

• Delete the Gmail app and reinstall it again

• I tried logging into my workspace email account from another iOS device and the same issue happens there. All the accounts logged in on the Gmail app can receive email notifications, and I’m only not getting notifications for the Google workspace email account.

The notification settings for the email account have never been touched before and they are set for receiving notifications for all emails. The last troubleshooting step makes me confident that this is something related to the account itself. Any help or ideas what might've caused this and how to fix?

Anybody know how to remove this notification?

"Moving this item within a shared drive may change its permissions."

I've spent the past few weeks researching project management tools. I've come to the realization that I can't really move to something like notion without completely leaving the Google ecosystem all together. (Not an option for my organization).

Surprisingly, I've found that Google has very little integration with its own apps. The only commonality is that they can be accessed through the same account and that's the extent of it.

Ideally, customers should be able to create a customizable project space (personal level or team level) and have the ability to organize all notes, emails, tasks, events and docs associated with that project. (Similar to notion or Evernote)

PROBLEM The biggest factor limiting Google right now is that there is no correlation between email labels, tasks lists, keep labels, events and drive folders. In order for Google to get into this market, they need a unified project label to rule them all.

I know this sub isn't official but hoping this message makes its way to Google somehow.

We use Groups for forwarding emails to some users Gmail inboxes. Its just for internal use. User 1 will send an email to the group and that email gets sent to all the users in the group.

We now have 2 completely seperate domains (main domain, other domain). Both domains are whitelisted in the others domain whitelisting section.

If I have a group setup in main domain and add users from both domains, do I need to tick any of the external tick boxes (who can view, who can post) to allow emails sent to the group from either domain, or does it now see the whitelisted domain as an internal organisation.

Hope that makes sense.

I'm trying to fix this problem. When I try to send an email, I receive error 530 5.7.0 Authentication Required. 

It also says my email to blahblah@gmail.com was blocked.

what I have done is turned on 2fa and made an app password, but other than that I'm not sure.

Hi all. I have been paying for my WorkSpace basic plan since November of 2022, my account got suspended after switching bank accounts and missing a payment. After I paid for the month and got my basic plan activated again, I had no access to the email account I had been using for the past year. I have no idea why I have no access when all WorkSpace subscriptions should provide access to this addition. Any clue what could be going wrong? I really don’t want to make a new account because I have business things attached to this email address.

I work for a subsidiary that uses GSuite but our parent company does not. We are constantly copying docs to Sharepoint but then I realized there might be a way to just share links to our doc without opening them up to the entire world. The share button in docs gives me a "Anyone in this group with the link can view" which includes just our domain. Is it possible to add other domains so that share links only works with 3 or 4 domains including a few domains that aren't on GSuite?

I'm currently using Proton Mail (Unlimited) with two custom domains. Proton makes this really easy. I get to use N custom domains and I just follow their instructions for adding a domain and configuring the DNS records. I'm considering returning to Google but I've used Google Workspace before and my recollection is that this was rather more difficult there. I have a domain for my work and one for personal email and want to use both in the most economical and efficient manner. I don't quite understand Google's distinction between a "secondary" domain and a "user alias domain". Can someone help me out here?

My alternative is to create email accounts at my domain registrar and then connect to those from my existing Gmail accounts, but when I did that in the past, I had to live with the fact that I didn't get incoming email very quickly.

The ability to create bookable appointment schedules in Google Calendar looks great. But is there any way to aggregate schedules from several people into a single calendar?

In other words, I enter a schedule saying I'm available Tuesday and Thursdays from 9am-11am. Sally creates a schedule that says she's available on Wednesdays from 2pm-5pm. Is there any way to show both of our bookable times on one calendar? A shared calendar can subscribe to multiple people, but only actual appointments appear and not the potentially bookable times.

Thanks!

I’m looking to pull all the tasks created in various documents within a particular shared workspace into one sheet. How would I do this?

Use case: tasks are being assigned within various meeting notes documents, and I want to see all the tasks in one place. Also, this includes tasks assigned to anyone, not just me.

TIA

Hello Reddit!

I am hoping someone can help. I am on the committee for a very small UK charity and we are looking at creating a Google workspace using the non profit offer they have. We have several personal gmails linked to the charity and know we will need to use one to create the admin account and apply for the workspace.

Can someone advise what happens to that admin email? Does it merge/ link with any new emails we set up or does it stay as a stand alone gmail account? I have tried to find an answer and got no where!

Thank you for your help in advance

Hi everyone,

I'm encountering a strange issue and could use some help. I created an email using a domain in Google Workspace and set it up with Nodemailer. When my app sends emails, they appear immediately in the Gmail "Sent" folder, but the recipients experience significant delays in receiving them—sometimes up to several hours.

Has anyone else experienced this or have any suggestions on what might be causing the delay?

Thanks in advance!

The CheckMX tool suggests I have various problems. The email address I am trying to set up can receive and respond to emails, but not send a new email, so at least there is a little functionality. When trying to send, it responds automatically with, "Your message to <recipient> has been blocked. See technical details below for more information." The "details below" are not useful.

At https://admin.google.com/ac/apps/gmail/authenticateemail I pressed "Start Authentication" and I have seen that it can take a while but I am not sure if I just need to wait or it will resolve itself.

Do the SPF, DKIM and DMARC settings below look reasonable?

Hello everyone, i manage an organization through Google Workspace.

How can I create a September report to see User John - how many emails he has sent and received?

My business email got suspended due to a reseller (wix) payment due. I contacted WIX but they can’t help because they have no record of me ever having one. Which isn’t the case, we’ve had it since 2019. Google won’t help because it’s in Wix’s name. I feel like I’m going in circles with no resolution. What can I do to re-establish my workspace account?

Hello there, I have been using Google workspace business starter plan since 2 weeks now and I have been facing issues related to my emails landing in spam folder of recipients.

I have sent the email on some Gmail accounts and it landed in inbox perfectly but for custom domain and Yahoo and outlook user reported that my emails are landing in spam folder.

I have done everything accordingly to the Google workspace step by step process and also as same as some YT videos but still nothing changed. I have rechecked the spf, dkim and dmarc records but it's all correct and yet this happens.

So is there anything you guys can help me out please let me know.

Last month I setup a brand new workspace account at the base starter package with the annual plan (billed monthly).

When I login to admin console and click "get more services" there is no option to upgrade.

In speaking with support, they told me that I couldn't upgrade my subscription because I recently downgraded my subscription (not true), and that I should wait exactly 84 days before I can upgrade my subscription.

I thought that maybe I couldn't upgrade my workspace plan because I signed a contract for the annual plan, but support made it seem like that wasn't the cause.

1. Has anyone run into this issue before?
2. Does anyone have a way to talk to someone useful for support? I've opened like 3 tickets and nobody has given any substantial help.

Long story short:

• A friend asked me to help him to make content for a website. He gets Domain name, hosting and email with different companies.

• He then tells me I can't keep the website, he will help me with some of the costs.

• He says he can't continue paying hosting service.

• I upload the site into another hosting, the hosting changes CNAME registry server nemes when I asked for SSL certificates, then I stopped receiving any email.

What should I do, I guess there is something my friend have to update in Gmail Workspaces account, but I don't know exactly what it is.

First question: Am I correct that there isn't a way for an admin on Google Workspace to view ALL the calendars in an organization? I have researched this before and all answers point to no, you cannot view a list of all the calendars. I just want to clarify that this is correct?

NEXT, my pressing problem for today: I used to be able to edit who could post to our group calendars and even wrote the process down in my notes because I never remembered where to find things in Google Workspace admin...But I cannot for the life of me find these settings anymore! I have looked and looked and googled and googled and am not finding anything to help. I suspect that Google moved things in a recent update?

So WHERE do I find the settings in Google Workspace admin to add someone to an existing Google calendar to give them the ability to add events to that calendar?

.

Apologies if this is an incredibly stupid question but i'm really struggling:

I've just bought my new business' domain through squarespace. I then created a google workspace subscription also through squarespace in an attempt to create emails for my business. It seemed to work fine to create the first email but now each time I try to add a user it seems like it's charging me per user. I feel like perhaps I'm navigating to the wrong section or maybe i'm just utterly lost and it will require a subscription per user.

I'd really just like to be able to set up multiple emails like info@, sales@, inquiries@, etc. without paying per email.

Thanks in advance!
