How it works

How Gaggle Mail works

One email address for your whole group. Send a message to it, and everyone gets a copy in their normal inbox — Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail, anything. Reply, and the whole group can join the conversation.

That's it. Everything else is detail.

Getting started

Set up in three steps

1

Choose your group's email address

Pick an address like yourgroup@gaggle.email — or use your own domain, so messages come from members@yourchurch.org. This is the one address everyone will remember.

Create your group
bpa-board @gaggle.email

Or receive at your own domain, like board@bpa.org.

2

Add your members

Type them in, paste a list, or upload a spreadsheet — from ten people to ten thousand. Nobody has to sign up for anything or confirm anything before the group works. You can also let people join themselves with a signup link.

Add members
The Gaggle Mail add members dialog with a pasted list of names and email addresses ready to add to the group
3

Send your first message

Email the group address from your normal inbox, or compose from the Gaggle Mail dashboard. Every member gets it seconds later. Replies flow back to the group (or just to you — your choice).

Wherever you're starting from — the best way to get a feel for Gaggle Mail is to create a group and give it a try. Sign up, then start a group. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3.

For your members

What your members see: just email

Your members don't need a Gaggle Mail account. They don't download an app, create a password, or learn a new website. A group message is an ordinary email in the inbox they already check, and taking part means doing the one thing every member of your group already knows how to do: hitting reply.

That matters because real groups aren't made of power users. A congregation, an HOA, an alumni association — there's always someone on a ten-year-old iPad, someone on AOL, someone who prints their emails. Gaggle Mail works for all of them on day one, because it doesn't ask them to change anything.

Members who want more control have it, without you lifting a finger: a daily digest instead of individual messages, a searchable message archive on the web, and a one-click unsubscribe in every footer — so "please remove me from this list" emails stop landing in your inbox.

For you

What you control

You decide how your group behaves. Open discussion, or announcement-only where just admins post. Moderation if messages need approval before going out; member approval if joining does. Roles so you're not the only one holding the keys. Your branding, welcome email, and message footer. And behind it all: reliable delivery, a searchable archive, delivery reports, and analytics that show you how healthy the group is.
