Create Custom Google Group

Overview

ITS provides assistance with creation of custom Google groups.

Notes

  • All members of the Manhattan College community can create their own Google groups.  Groups made by a user have "-user" appended to the group name.
  • In order to create a group without the "-user" appended to the group name, you must request this service.

Features

  • ITS can create a custom Google group that can be shared amongst your colleagues.
  • Email can be quickly and easily sent out to a group without severely impacting your daily email send limit.  An email to many counts as only one email.  Please visit this link to learn more about Google Sending Limits.
  • History of emails sent to the group are archived for easy access on the group page.

Google Groups make it easy for groups of people—such as project teams, departments, or classmates—to communicate and collaborate. You can send an email to everyone in a group with one address, invite a group to an event, or share documents with a group. You can also create an online forum to discuss a topic, share information and updates.
