How to Set-Up an Email Alias in Google Workspace

Email aliases (or alternate email addresses) allow you to have multiple emails without creating multiple accounts. Let’s say you already have an email setup, mybusiness@example.com–you can add aliases like support@mybusiness.com or feedback@mybusiness.com to professionalize your business and emails without having to worry about monitoring multiple inboxes as they will all funnel into your primary account’s inbox. Email aliases are additionally helpful in forwarding emails from a previous employee that is no longer with your company and have them sent to someone else’s inbox. It is important to note that only an admin account can add or edit email aliases.
