# How to forward emails to Guestway

This guide shows you how to forward the emails of your current address to Guestway, so they arrive in the inbox with all other messages.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Before you start**

* You need access to the email account where your guest emails arrive now, for example Gmail, Outlook, Zoho or the webmail of your hosting provider.
  {% endhint %}

## Get your Guestway address

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the inbox settings

Go to **Settings** → **Inbox**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Copy the address

In **General**, copy the **Guest inbox email**, for example *<yourcompany@in.gstw.io>*. You need it in the next step.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Add the forwarding rule

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open your current email account

Log in to the email account where your booking inquiries arrive now.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open the forwarding settings

The place depends on your provider:

* **Gmail:** ⚙️ → *See all settings* → *Forwarding and POP/IMAP* → *Add a forwarding address*
* **Outlook:** ⚙️ → *View all Outlook settings* → *Rules* → *Set up Forwarding*
* **Other providers:** look for *Mail Forwarding*, *Redirects* or *Aliases* in your hosting dashboard
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Forward to Guestway

As the address to forward from, enter your current inquiry address. As the forwarding address, paste your Guestway address. Save the rule.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Check that emails arrive

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Send a test email

Send an email to your inquiry address, for example *<info@yourwebsite.com>*.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Find it in the inbox

Go to **Inbox**. The email shows within seconds.

If it does not show, check that the forwarding rule is on, and that the Guestway address is pasted exactly.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.guestway.io/inbox-and-messaging/inbox/how-to-forward-emails-to-guestway.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
