A problem we had to fix on our Squarespace website was adding multiple Gmail address to our forms. How do you add multiple Gmail addresses when you are the only Gmail user on Google Apps for Work? It took us a while to find the solution and it was a really simple.
If you have the personal Squarespace service, then you need to connect Google Apps for Work before you even attempt the solution. You will need to follow the steps suggested in our article ‘How we were able to solve the problem of connecting Gmail to Squarespace’.
Once you have connected Gmail to Squarespace, you need to complete the following steps:
- Login to your Google Apps for Work account and go straight to Admin section
- Click on ‘User’ and then click on the name of the ‘Active User’ that you want to set up the Gmail address for
- When their profile comes up click on ‘Account’
- Go to the section that says ‘Aliases’ and click on ‘Add an alias’
- Type in the Gmail alias or Gmail aliases that you want the person to have e.g. Sales@ABCcompany.com and/or Info@ABCcompany.com
Then head back to your Squarespace account
- Go to the form that you want to add the Gmail account and go to ‘Settings’ and add the Gmail address that you want the form to go to e.g. Sales@ABCcompany.com
- Save your changes
- Test your form by filling it in and then sending it
The form should appear in your Gmail address - Sales@ABCcompany.com
For better emailing campaigns you should connect the form to your MailChimp account. When you add MailChimp to the form, it sends the information to the emailing list that you have set up for it. (MailChimp is the partner of choice for your Squarespace website).
We hope this solution makes setting up multiple Gmail addresses for your business simple for you. Do you use multiple email addresses for your business? Is this the way you setup multiple Gmail addresses for your website?
