Google Groups

Google Groups

Email-based forums with web archives and moderation controls.

Integration features

Members will click “Open Group” on your portalry to launch Google Groups. Use this checklist to give them a smooth landing every time.

Portalry links directly to your groups.google.com page so members can request access, read archives, or post updates.

What Portalry handles for you

  • Shows an "Open Group" button that routes members to your Google Group.
  • Uses the page title and metadata from groups.google.com to label the portal clearly.

Setup checklist

  1. Copy the groups.google.com URL for your group (e.g., https://groups.google.com/g/your-group) and paste it into Portalry.
  2. Confirm whether the group requires sign-in or join approval and note it in the portal description.
  3. Review your posting permissions and welcome message inside Google Groups before sharing the link.

What still lives in the platform

  • Portalry cannot approve members or change posting permissions—manage those in Google Groups.
  • Email delivery preferences stay controlled by each member in Google Groups.

Extras & best practices

  • Pin a welcome topic in Google Groups to share etiquette and subject line conventions.
  • Encourage new members to pick the delivery option that matches how often you post.
