Shared addresses
A shared address like coaches@yourclub.com goes to every coach you map to it. When a coach replies from their own inbox, the parent sees the reply come from the club address, never from a personal email.
Setting up an alias
From Email in the dashboard, add an alias: the address (like coaches on your club domain), an optional display name, and the recipients who should receive it. New aliases work immediately; create as many as you like (registrar@, team-red@, whatever fits your club).
How a conversation flows
- A parent writes to
coaches@yourclub.com. - Every mapped coach gets the message in their own inbox, labeled with who sent it.
- Any coach replies normally, from Gmail or wherever they live.
- The parent receives the reply from
coaches@yourclub.com. The coach's personal address never appears.
Replies thread reliably no matter which mail app a coach uses, even with generic subject lines like "quick question". Each conversation is tracked separately per parent.
Watching conversations
The Email page lists recent conversations: who wrote in, through which alias, the subject, and when the last message moved. It is a record, not an inbox; the actual messages live in your coaches' own email.
What it will not do
- It is not a mailbox you log into. Mail always lands in the recipients' real inboxes.
- Strangers cannot impersonate the club: only mapped recipients can send through an alias's conversations.
