✉️ Simplify your emails with Google Workspace aliases
Note:* You need to have access to the Google Workspace perk on HCB to use this feature*
Have you ever needed to have multiple emails for your organization (like help@, sponsor@, [your name]@)?
Previously, you would have had to create a new account for each address, but you no longer need to.
On HCB, you can now create up to 30 aliases per Google Workspace account; all emails to an alias will be sent to its parent account's inbox. No more having to flip through 10 different inboxes!

We've got a more elegant solution for you all, however. You can now customise the logo printed in the top right and we've started printing the organization name on the card:
(Apex is a high-altitude balloon-forcused hackathon running on HCB!)
Plus, we've got white cards now. Fancy.
