I’m currently using Apple Hide My Email to create random email addresses for each website I create an account on. I really like the privacy and spam control I can get from this feature, but the Apple email client is terrible, and the process to create a new email is also terrible, specially when I’m not on my iPhone.
I would love to simulate this whole experience using a catch-all email config through Google Workspace. However, I don’t think I would be able to reply to incoming emails using the same email address that I used to create the account.
Is there a way to send emails from the email addresses I’m creating through a catch-all config on Google Workspace? If not, would it be possible to simulate the experience I have with Apple’s Hide my Email on Google Workspace?

I would like to connect my Google sheets with Elastic Email base. I have a Google Form, which updates data in Google Sheets. From there I would like to send all new email addresses to my Elastic Email account, how can I achieve this?
Also another question regarding Google Sheets - with script MaillApp.SendEmail I send all form responses to my email. There is a problem, because the sender's email is my private mail, even though the form, sheet and script are on my domain's email. I can add another sender's email in the script, but then it shows both - my personal and domain's email address as senders.
Thank you very much for your help and all the best!
You can build script that will add contact to your account with method Contact/add: http://api.elasticemail.com/public/help#Contact_Add
If you cannot build the scripts you can use integrations hub like Zapier - it should allow you to Add Contact to your Elastic Email account when certain trigger action is met (eg. new row in Google Spreadsheet).
SendGrid is able to track if an email "... was accepted by the receiving server".
How would one go about doing this in an application that uses Gmail SMTP servers rather than SendGrid? (For example, a NodeJS application that uses nodemailer, or a Ruby-on-Rails app that uses Action Mailer, to send email through Gmail SMTP)
Google's different levels of paid G Suite offerings have logging you can use: Track message delivery with Email Log Search (google.com).
If you're not paying for G Suite and you're trying to build a way to collect statistics yourself, that becomes more tricky. Email service providers will generally count an "open" using something like a click-through on a link in the email (linked back to a property you control), or the loading of an image in the email (again, loaded from a property you control). You can read more about how ESP email open rates work here: The Science Behind Email Open Rates (and How to Get More People to Read Your Emails) (superoffice.com)
Gmail's SMTP servers don't report email delivery, only if there's a bounce. Google is somewhat closed with that, only paid users in G Suite can actually see the detailed delivery status using the Email Log Search tool.
Hope this helps.
I'm writing a program that should send emails to multiple users with content extracted from an excel spreadsheet. I know how to do this using the net/smtp package in Go, but I would like to know if it's possible to send an email with the sender being a google group (i.e googlegroup#gmail.com) instead of my email without resorting to using the gmail API? Currently I have a working program that can log in through an email and password, which is then used for auth credentials, but seeing as that google groups don't have the same kind of interface I'm not quite sure how to change it so emails are sent from a group instead of an individual user.
Each google group should have an email address associated with it. golang-nuts is golang-nuts#googlegroups.com for example. Any mail sent to that should be posted to the group, assuming it is from a member of the group.
In order to send from your own gmail account, you can use gmail's outgoing smtp feature with the net/smtp package. Configuration is explained better on this digital ocean post
I'm reading about the new development of Google quick action buttons in the mail inbox.
I'm a little bit lost in this topic and not understand how I can include this function in my emails.
I have read about DKIM/SPF but I don't know if this functionality could need to do an google app.
I have my mail server with marketing segmentation and I want this button is visible when email come to client (destiny) gmail inbox (guess only works in gmail....). If i have included the markup code in html in my emails, why i can't see this button?
would it need create a specific mail application to implement this feature and send emails from this app? Someone tried this?
I know maybe this has been reply before but i think must start more down... so.. sorry.
Thanks and regards!
When you are ready to launch your marked up emails to your users, you will need to register with Google. Please follow this process:
1.Send a real-life email coming from your production servers (or a server with similar DKIM/SPF/From:/Return-Path: headers) including the markup / schema to schema.whitelisting+sample#gmail.com.
2.If you send a test/blank email, an email that does not contain schema or if you don't send an email for review your application will be silently discarded.
3.Make sure that the markup is correct prior to sending the email. For more details see Testing your Schema. Especially make sure the email passes the Email markup Tester and that there are no errors, also make sure to include as much data as possible.
4.Gmail removes all markup when forwarding an email. Do not forward the email but send it directly.
Fill out the registration form available here.
Here is the link for the documentation.
Hope this helps!!
Are you sending a promotional email (offers, etc.)?
If yes, then you are likely to be delivered to the Promotions tab, where quick actions do not work (according to Litmus - https://litmus.com/ebooks/gmail-ebook/gmail-ebook/).
Quick Actions work best in the Inbox for transactional emails.
("Here is your booking confirmation" [Check-in now] quick action)
These typically arrive directly in the Inbox.
I know this is likely to be answered "sorry buddy", but is there a way i can access my recently sent emails from another iOS app? I really don't need the contents of the emails just the addresses. Basically if you haven't stored the contact information in your address book, I still want to be able to pull those addresses.
For example in the email app, when you compose a new email, as you start typing in an email address it will try to autofill with recently sent/received email addresses. I'm trying to mimic this behavior.
Point me in the right direction if there is already a stack overflow question about this.
No, there is not API that will allow this.
Apps can't acces other apps data since they are sandboxed.
Given the quick answers I received confirming my suspicion that this can't be done, I'm thinking I will just provide a way people can set up email accounts the way the built-in mail app does it. By that I mean I will allow people to select from the major web-based mail providers like gmail, yahoo mail, .. then also allow them to create a mail account with their mail server (address, username, password, port, etc.)
It's kind of overkill since I just want their recently used email addresses, and will scare off people who don't want to give access to their personal mail, but if its all i can do then so be it.
