Guide to Setting Up Multiple Marker.io Accounts with a Single Email Address

Introduction

To maintain the integrity and clarity of user management, each Marker.io account requires a unique email address. If you've previously registered with a specific email, that same exact address cannot be used to create another Marker.io account. However, a workaround is available that allows you to use a variation of your original email, while still receiving all related communications in your main inbox.


Steps

Understanding Email Aliases:

An email alias allows you to slightly modify your email address, creating a variation treated as a separate address by systems like Marker.io, but still links to your main email inbox. For instance, if your original email is "JohnDoe@email.com", you can modify it to "JohnDoe+Alias@email.com" to create another account.

Creating an Alias for Your Email:

  • Identify your primary email address: (e.g., "JohnDoe@email.com").

  • Decide on a unique identifier for your alias. This is typically a word or phrase related to the purpose or team associated with the new Marker.io account. (e.g., "Team2", "ProjectX", "DeptY").

  • Combine your original email with the unique identifier using a "+" sign. Example: "JohnDoe+Team2@email.com".

Registering a New Marker.io Account:

Use the newly created email alias (e.g., "JohnDoe+Team2@email.com") to sign up for a new Marker.io account.

Adding a member to your Marker.io account that already exists in another account

Let's say you wish to invite JohnDoe@email.com to your Marker.io account, but this user is already part of another team. You can consider inviting this person as: JohnDoe+Team2@email.com


Benefits

  • Allows for easy management of multiple Marker.io accounts without the need for multiple unique email addresses.

  • Ensures all account-related communications still reach your primary email inbox.


Conclusion

Utilizing the email alias technique ensures seamless management of multiple Marker.io accounts without complicating email communications. For further assistance or inquiries, please contact our support team.
