Understanding shared inboxes

Mamdouh Abdel Meguid Updated by Mamdouh Abdel Meguid

Gmelius lets you convert any email address such as info@, hello@, and support@ into a shared inbox with built-in assignments right inside Gmail without switching to another platform.

The email address you can share can be any of these three types:

  1. A Gmail account
  2. A Google Group
  3. An alias of a Google Workspace account
Benefits of using a Gmelius shared inbox.
  • No need to share the password of a Gmail account.
  • Emails are synced across users' accounts, meaning that all shared inbox members can see the email conversations in real-time (no need to Bcc/Cc or forward emails)
  • It is designed for external email communication, meaning it offers the accountability and transparency that Google Groups and the other type of email addresses do not offer.
  • It integrates with your other favorite daily apps, e.g., Slack and Trello
  • You can create Workflow Rules to automate many processes in a shared inbox in a clear and precise way.
