Yes. In Google Workspace, mailing lists are created using Google Groups.
A group allows you to send a single email to one address (for example, team@yourdomain.com) and have it delivered to multiple users automatically.
Before creating a mailing list, review how collaboration works in Google Workspace to understand where groups fit.
How Mailing Lists Work in Google Workspace
A Google Group functions as:
- A shared email address
- A distribution list
- A collaborative inbox (optional)
When an email is sent to the group address, all members of the group receive the message.
It is important to distinguish between a group and an email alias:
- A group sends messages to multiple users
- An alias delivers messages to a single user
When to Use a Group
You can use a group when you need:
- Team communication (e.g., sales@, support@)
- Department-wide messaging
- Organization announcements
- A shared inbox for managing emails
Groups are best suited for communication across multiple users rather than individual email routing.
How to Set Up a Mailing List
Setting up a mailing list involves creating and configuring a group:
- Sign in to the Google Admin Console
- Create a group email address
- Configure access and posting permissions
- Add members
To proceed, follow the guide to create a group in the Admin Console.
After creating the group, you must add users to a group so they can receive messages.
If your goal is to include all users by default, you may need to create an organization-wide group.
Important Limits and Permissions
- Groups can support a large number of members
- A single user can only belong to a limited number of groups
- Only administrators (or assigned group managers) can create and manage groups
- Permissions should be configured carefully to control who can send messages
