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
- Copy the groups.google.com URL for your group (e.g., https://groups.google.com/g/your-group) and paste it into Portalry.
- Confirm whether the group requires sign-in or join approval and note it in the portal description.
- 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.
