How to Make a Group Email in Gmail - Two Methods

In this Gmail tutorial, I will show you two ways to make a group email. Creating a group for email will save you time when sending messages to a group of people. The first way is to go to Contacts and either add new contacts or use existing contacts and add them to a label. The second way is to use Google Groups to create a new group and add members. When you create the group, a new email address is created for the group.

I agree- thanks for a clear, easy-to-understand, video! Setting up distribution lists in GMail isn't as intuitive as 1 might think!

[@sajjadahmed5139]

Thanks for your video. Is there any way I can keep some of the members in cc in the group automatically. I want to make a group where there is one or 2 main receiver and multiple receivers in cc

[@masagabusanda5862]

[@user-nk6zc7po9i]

[@FlamingBlueKing2012]

Hi! What's the difference between manager's role and owner's one?

[@niteshkashyap3774]

I am trying to create a new google group and i have almost 2000 Email ID to add in this group. When i copy & paste all mail IDs, there is a mesaage flashing that you can add only 10 members at a time. When i hit create group, i can see only 11 members including self. So, my objective of adding 2000 mail Ids in one single google group is not fulfilled. Is there any restriction on numbers? Pls guide how to create this group with max number of E-Mail IDs into it? Help pls

[@mirrorreflection3479]

I know about Labels but I wish I knew about Group before. Thanks.

Will the google groups email allow all group members to sign into the account and view incoming messages?

Question for number 2 options how can I add an Auto Reply to that group so that everyone that is emailing that group can get an Auto Reply

[@RuthNovosad]

I have had some problems in sending group emails using a google group. My list is 270+ members. A high percentage of members report the email sent from the google group in delivered to their spam/junk folder, or not at all. Several members have added the name of the group list to their email contacts. This works for some members but not for others. Also, the pattern is inconsistent. Some members have successfully received group emails for quite some time, then, suddenly, group emails et delivered to junk folder. Do you have any tips? I appreciate your video. Well done!

[@JeanneMichaelLivermore]

Well, the bcc does not hide email addresses in my llist when I send a copy to me in gmail, however, as the nonsender I see that it DOES hide the bcc emails. thanks

Today i just search automatically forwarding e mails to a group possible or not. Thank you. I will test it. Nothing can be learn without dirtying hands (dirtying !! Sorry my english)

[@TeachersTech]

Hope it can help!

[@emmalewis6619]

Hi. When I'm onu personal gmail page, how can I quickly link to the group page? Even ive set it up, when i go to google apps i still dont have a 'groups' icon

[@icelei2135]

can I change profile image of the group email ? and how?
Thank you

[@TrinhTran-uz1xl]

Hi Jimmy,
I actually create grp email before watching you methods. I don't know what i did wrong but the "new conversation" & "directly adds menber" are disable. Can you help me resolve this problem

[@stephaniewilliams5233]

Thank you very much for this lesson. I have racked my brain trying to figure out how to create a group with external members. I am receiving an error message that states the external members are no in my organization. Do you have a fix for this setup? I am the Adm on the account but not sure where to locate the setting. ERROR MESSAGE: An error occurred 2 users are outside of your organization. Based on your group or organization settings, you can only add organization users to this group. Contact your group owner or domain administrator for help.
Your assistance is greatly appreciated,

[@vvkruhlyk]

Hello, can you tell me why there is "1" near "conversations" all the time even if there's no unread conversations?

[@tiffanyfeingold]

This was very helpful, but for some reason when I add emails to my group and try to save them, I get the error that the email addresses are outside my organization. And I can't figure out how to stop it from allowing only organization email addresses--makes no sense. Do you know?

[@user-re9sw6vd2f]

I have created a label for a party invitation with 125 emails listed. I want to send bcc. After sending the invitation group of 125, will I be able to check to make sure they were all listed. Will this show in my Sent mail?

[@willieward7419]

Seems somewhat complicated to me, but would probably use it maybe.

[@arsalanbaig9196]

Question: I sent a mail using the created group ID on Gmail. Mail is there on the sent list but not reflecting in the Gmail inbox. Is there any solution for this? Thanks.

[@fantana8029]

I'm not seeing groups available in the free Google Account... Can you perhaps check and see if Google no longer supports this?

[@dorothyhoyt-reed2986]

So if someone in the group wants to start a new conversation on a different subject, do they just type in the name of the group? Some people in my group aren't as tech savvy or they dont' have a Google account. Will they have a problem with the group?

[@redefinerelentless]

I tried to do this, unfortunately, the work email blocks this for the recipients. Any way around this? Does anyone know how to get approved for this?

[@johnravi1683]

Hi,
Thanks a lot for sharing this. I have recently upgraded to Google Workspace, and I am still navigating it. My team and I used another project management tool, but after so many suggestions from the team, I decided to switch to Google. It has been great as of yet, and I think it will be great in the future. I learned from this video, and I look forward to learning more tricks and strategies that will help me navigate Google better.

[@shaag92]

Is it possible to change the display name in a group?

[@MsMyra22]

You didn't mention how to add members if they are not already in the contact list. Do we have to add each of them in a separate contact and then add them? What if I don't want each of them in my contacts but only want to add their emails to the group. How do I add their emails while I am in the gp mode.

[@terryz935]

I'd like to know this too

[@echoxu9940]

I have the same question hrer.

[@kritjohnjonston2076]

Not able to add multiple email addresses to a Gmail label / group. So when i send a document to the group there is no one in the group

[@birdgroup7270]

The members are not receiving the emails. I set it up so they were automatically added to acceptance required.

[@tobiasthederp]

This feature does not work on the app or phone. Only PC.

[@cmu3rd]

It won't work for emal addresses that are not google.

[@gregsaunders1378]

I want my contact group to show alphabetically in my recepients compose ... they are alphabetical in the Contacts Group Label, but when I use that group in the email, they are all over the place ... not alphabetical ?

[@jessebell2918]

One note - as of 05/2023, Google Groups can no longer be found via the "waffle" menu with a free gmail account. I had to do a separate search for "google groups".

[@treasurethetime2463]

I hate Google sometimes. I have 6 email addresses that I want to send a group email. I don't want or need to create individual contacts. I simply need to send the email. Why is this so difficult?

[@angelalamey8742]

Great video! Thank you

[@shellylongmire2978]

I created a label but when I try to compose a email it doesn’t t come up in To . Any thoughts

Label not showing up

[@rvgearguy294]

I am a technical person and this was jumping all around in almost every sentence, very confusing

[@lorenebodiam8679]

Way too fast an explanation. I tuned out half way through.
Sorry it didn't work for me and was not helpful at all. I am back to square one.

[@drstone1167]

Google Gmail should be called google junk mail. They allow way too much junk mail to hit your email box. 👎

[@cloudsculptor1]

Needless inclusion of what he is not going to clouds the facts of what's required .
Does not seem applicable to android tablet set up
