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.
