Give a group an additional "alias" address

---

As a Groups administrator, you can add alternate addresses, called email aliases, to your organization’s groups. For example, if there’s a group email for [email protected], you can add [email protected] as an email alias for the group. Messages sent to either address appear in the same group. Or, if your organization has more than one domain, you can add an alias with a different domain to a group.

Note: Currently, you can't search for a group by its alias address.
