Email Modifiers for Multi-Workspace Access
If you need to access multiple Pactly workspaces, you can use email modifiers (also known as plus addressing or subaddressing) to create multiple accounts using a single email address.
How Email Modifiers Work
Section titled “How Email Modifiers Work”Email modifiers use the + symbol to create variations of your email address that all deliver to your main inbox.
Format: [email protected]
For example, if your email is [email protected]:
All of these addresses will deliver emails to [email protected], but Pactly treats each as a unique user account.
Setting Up Multiple Workspace Access
Section titled “Setting Up Multiple Workspace Access”Step 1: Determine which workspaces you need to access.
Step 2: Create a unique email modifier for each workspace:
- Use descriptive modifiers like
+legal,+sales,+apac - Keep modifiers short and memorable
Step 3: Register for each workspace using the modified email address.
Step 4: When logging in, use the specific modified email for the workspace you want to access.
