Everything you need to take your team from “Google Workspace inbox” to “shared inbox with audit.” Six steps, no migration.

1. Connect your Google Workspace

Sign up at /register as a Google Workspace admin. Unibox will request Gmail and Directory API scopes — these let us read mail through the shared mailbox and create aliases without manual admin-console steps.

Behind the scenes we run two flows: standard OAuth for the admin's user account, and domain-wide delegation for our service account so we can manage Workspace aliases.

2. Create aliases for your team

From Settings → Aliases, add the addresses your customers already use — support@, billing@, hello@. Each alias is a forwarding address on one shared `inbox@` mailbox; teammates see only the aliases assigned to them.

Limits: Google allows up to 30 aliases per primary user. Beyond that, use Recipient Address Mapping (Workspace Admin → Routing).

3. Invite teammates

From Team → Invite member, add each person by their Google account email. Any domain works — Gmail consumer accounts included. They'll sign in with their own Google credentials and see only the conversations addressed to their aliases.

Admins see everything; members see their assigned aliases plus threads they've been explicitly mentioned in (we record those automatically).

4. Tags, statuses, and notes

Open any thread to see the details rail. Apply tags from a workspace-wide library (Settings → Tags), set status (open / pending / resolved / closed), assign to a teammate, or drop an internal note that customers never see.

All actions are logged to the audit trail.

5. Automate with Workflows

Settings → Workflows ships a visual builder for trigger → AI task → condition → action graphs. Today the executor fires on `reply_received` and via a manual 'Run on thread' button. Auto-fire on inbound mail is on the roadmap (Gmail Pub/Sub).

6. Keyboard shortcuts

Press ? anywhere to see the full list. The basics: ↑/↓ navigate, Enter opens, R to reply, F to forward, C to compose, / to search, Esc to close, Cmd+Enter to send, Cmd+S to save draft.
