At Double, we use Gmail delegation to share inboxes and let your double triage your emails and prepare drafts for you. It's super easy to set up, as long as your double has an email with your domain. If you haven't created one yet, follow these steps first.

Share your inbox

  1. On your desktop, open Gmail settings. You can't add delegates from the Gmail app.

  2. In the Account tab, go to the "Grant access to your account" section, and click Add another account.

  3. Enter the email of your double.

  4. Tick the box Leave conversation unread when opened by others

  5. Click Next Step > Send email to grant access.

❗️To delegate your inbox, please make sure you are subscribed to the Google Workspace Standard Plus plan at a minimum.

All set! Your double will get an email asking them to confirm. 🎉

Note: Make sure that Mail Delegation is allowed in your Google admin console, the option must be ticked. If you don’t see this setting, contact your admin.

Learn more about what a delegate can and can't do in your inbox.
