Question 3

Shared Inbox or Google Group: which one is right for me?

Accepted Answer

Lots of teams come across this debate when it comes to managing team emails - Should we use Shared Inboxes or Google Groups?

The goal of this article is to support these teams in their decision on what set up to go for.

| Both Shared Inboxes and Google Groups can be integrated into Drag boards.

What are Shared Inboxes and Google Groups?

They seem to be the same at a first glance, starting with info@, support@, etc. The biggest difference is the way they handle incoming emails.

Shared Inboxes are real inboxes (that you login with a password), and are set up as "users" in your Google Workspace account.
Google Groups work like email distribution lists. When an email is sent to a Google Group, a copy of that email is sent individually to all users inside that particular Group. Google Groups do not count as users in your Google Workspace account.

What is the difference between using Drag with Shared Inboxes and Google Groups?

There are a few differences between using Shared Inbox or Google Groups on Drag boards.

Profile Picture

With a Shared Inbox, you can assign a profile picture to your team inbox, for example your company logo, giving a more professional look to your emails.
Google Groups do not support profile pictures. You have the options to either reply to emails from your own individual account (with your own profile

Question 4

How do I use automations?

Accepted Answer

Do you have a lot of repeatable tasks in your day-to-day? Don't worry, we've got you covered. With Drag, you can preset rules to automate your workflows.

You may know the Gmail rules or filters. Our automations work very similar to them, but for Drag-related tasks. Here is everything you need to know to use them.

|| Automations are included in our Starter, Plus and Pro Plans.

How it works

Each Drag board or workflow is different. That's why you can create different automations for different Drag boards. The best part is that our automations are all cross-boards. This means they allow actions in one board to trigger other actions in a completely separate board.

Our automations are combinations of 4 factors that you can customize:

Trigger

These are the triggers that determine when a rule will be applied.

Board

This is the board where your automation will be triggered (i.e. where the automation starts). For example, if you select your main board, this means those rules will be applied to emails from your personal inbox (even the case of being automatically moved to another board).

Conditions

These are specific conditions that need to be met on top of the triggers and board for the automation actions to occur. You can select as many conditions as you want.

Actions

These are the actions that will be performed automatically when the autom

Question 5

What is the difference between an Empty board, Shared Inbox and Google Groups board?

Accepted Answer

When you are creating a new board you have the option to either start with an empty board or add incoming emails from a Shared inbox or Google Group.

If you choose to add incoming emails, the emails sent to that Shared Inbox or Google Group will load in real time into the board. If you choose not to add incoming emails, your board will start empty and you can customize it according to your workflows.

| Regardless of the type of board, you can always share it team members. Here's how.

Empty board

Choose this option if you want the board to start empty, like a blank canvas. You can then populate it the way you want. Create new cards. Drag cards into it or even create automations to move cards into it automatically. Drag boards were designed to be a flexible workspace for you and your team.

Shared inbox board

Choose this option if you want emails from a shared account (e.g. support@) to load automatically into the board. In this case, you need to have a login and password for the shared email address. **In Shared Inbox boards, new emails sent to that shared email address will load on the
