Multiple email addresses for a group

The incoming email field seems to be limited to a single address. Would it be possible to allow multiple here?

usecase: we have info@ sales@ and several others that all go to the same mailbox.

Seems logical, it is a question for @zogstrip.

Just added that feature :mailbox_with_mail:

Mentioned in my reopen request, here for reference:

The UI is missing any kind of indicator that this functionality is available and what the delimiter is.

Yeah, +1… I inspected the code to find the delimiter is a | (no spaces between the pipe)

Still not documented but It works :+1:

Just because I stumbled upon this topic and the documentation is missing, at least from here…

How to assign multiple email addresses to a group

You can add multiple email addresses to a single group by separating them with a |.

Browse to https://discourse.example/g/group-name/manage/interaction, and then in the Email field you can enter:

group-name@discourse.example|info@discourse.example

Then your group will be able to receive email from both group-name@discourse.example and info@discourse.example.

I added a tooltip here that will appear for new and existing groups:

(It’s the same tooltip we show while editing Settings for a Category)
