How to Forward Emails to Blastra

Learn how to set up email forwarding from your email provider to Blastra. This guide will walk you through the process step by step.

Important: Use a new and dedicated email address

The email address you choose for forwarding (e.g., listings@your-company.com) should ideally be a new email address (i.e. a mailbox that does not currently exist on your system). It should be uniquely assigned for the purpose of receiving emails from directories and forwarding them to Blastra. This ensures that only directory-related emails are processed by Blastra.

Google Workspace Email Forwarding

Follow these steps to forward emails from your Google Workspace domain to Blastra:

Access Google Admin Console
Log in to your Google Workspace admin console at:
admin.google.com
Navigate to Gmail Settings
In the admin console, on the left sidebar, navigate to:
Apps → Google Workspace → Gmail
Open Routing Settings
Scroll down to the bottom of the Gmail settings page and click on "Routing" to access email routing configuration.
Configure Recipient Address Map
Find the "Email forwarding using recipient address map" section and add a new rule to map your selected email address (e.g. listings@your-company.com) to
go@forward.blastra.io
Choose Delivery Options
You can choose 'Also route to original destination' option if the email being forwarded is an actual mailbox on your system and you want to keep these messages in addition to forwarding.

Note

Regardless of which delivery option you choose, all forwarded emails will be accessible in your Blastra account (Mail page).

What's Next?

Once you've configured email forwarding, any emails sent to your forwarded address will appear in your Blastra account within seconds.
