How to use an email alias for Panel Sharing
My family member doesn't have their own email address... How can I create another ActionTiles Account for Panel Sharing?
If you use Gmail, you may already know that you can use an unlimited number of unique "email aliases" by appending a "+alias" to the end of your base email address.
For example, if your Gmail address is: "memyself@gmail.com", then you can email yourself using "memyself+2@gmail.com" or "memyself+mykid@gmail.com", etc.. These will be all automatically sent to the same Gmail box, but to ActionTiles they are considered unique Accounts. Aliases can be created and used spontaneously ... you don't have to set up anything in Gmail itself.
In Gmail you also have the ability to use a period anywhere in the name for an alias. i.e. actiontiles@gmail.com is the same as action.tiles@gmail.com and act.ion.ti.les@gmail.com. Some registration pages don't allow a + in the email address.
