Features like these traditionally do not work with Google Apps accounts. Adding your hotel reservation confirmations to your calendar or notifying you of package delivery? Nope. Anything else Google Now could use? Nope. Google doesn't read you Apps account, like they do with the regular ones.
- jakebasile 10y agoI would pay for an option to let them read it. I just want a regular schmuck's Google account with my own domain for email. Keep charging me $5/mo, get rid of the SLA, just let me use what I want to use.
- userhacker 10y agoas a hack, you can use a regular gmail address and forward all your emails to that address. you can also respond from a regular gmail address to your abc@yourname.com by changing the from field (you have to verify you own the email address). currently using a similar setup, custom email address but responding from a regular gmail address
- jakebasile 10y agoYeah this workaround has existed for a while, but that means that your outbound mail will have "you@custom.com via you@gmail.com", or similar. If I recall correctly it also causes problems when responding from mail clients that aren't made by Google but I could be wrong there. It's a frustrating situation, but it's low on my list right now. I keep holding out hope that one day they'll make it right while warning people away from the same situation.
- Oletros 10y agoEh, a lot of those things work with Google App accounts like Hotel Reservations, Flights or Amazon purchases
- vetinari 10y agoWell, it doesn't work with mine. No Amazon or eBay purchases, no flights, no parcel notifications, nothing...
